The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another

important element to obtain the best possible surround sound of

the Surround modes.

You need to set the distance from your listening point to the speakers. By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.

Set the distance from the listening point within the range of

1 ft (0.3 m) to 30 ft (9.0 m), in 1 ft (0.3m) interval.

Ex. : In this case,

set “FRNT D” to “1 Ift,” set “CNTR D” to “1 Oft” and set “REAR D” to “9ft.”

Notes:

“IOft” is the initial setting. If you have a/ready changed the

setting, another setting will be shown.
