xSBR DIST. (Surround back right speaker distance)b)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround back speakers.

a)You can only select this parameter when the surround back speakers are set to “SINGLE” in SYSTEM menu.

b)You can only select this parameter when the surround back speakers are set to “DUAL” in SYSTEM menu.

Tip

The distance between the center speaker and the listening position B cannot be more than 1.5 meters closer than the one between the listening position and the front speaker A. Place the speakers so that the difference in the length of B in the following diagram is no more than 1.5 meters closer than the length of A.

Example: Adjust the distance B to 4.5 meters or more when the distance A is 6 meters.

Also, the distance between the surround speakers/ surround back speakers and the listening position

Ccannot be more than 4.5 meters closer than the

distance between the listening position and the front speakers A. Place the speakers so that the difference in the length of C in the following

diagram is no more than 4.5 meters closer than the length of A.

Example: Adjust the distance C to 1.5 meters or more when the distance A is 6 meters.

This is important because incorrect speaker placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of surround sound. Please note that placing the speakers closer than the required will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away. Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
