xFRT DIST. (Front speaker distance)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A). If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance as the average distance between the front speakers.

xCNT DIST. (Center speaker distance)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance

1.5meters closer to your listening position (B).xSL DIST. (Surround left speaker distance)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround left speaker. Surround left speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to your listening position (C).

xSR DIST. (Surround right speaker distance)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround right speaker. Surround right speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to your listening position (D).

xSB DIST. (Surround back speaker distance)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround back speaker. Surround back speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to your listening position (E).

Tip

The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker further than the front speakers.

Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than

1.5meter closer from the front speakers. Likewise, the surround and surround back speakers can not be set further away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meter 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 the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is further away.

For example, setting the center speaker distance

1-2 meter closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the 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!
