Tip
The receiver lets you input speaker positions in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the distance of the center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker cannot be set more that 1.5 m closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set farther away from the listening position than the front speakers, and can be no more than 4.5 meters closer. This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound. Please note that setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance
screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger sound stage. Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
