3.3 LISTENER POSITION
The Listener Position menu lets you enter the distance between each speaker and the listening area. Ideally,
speakers should be placed at an equal distance so that their sound arrives at the listening area at the same
time, but since this is rarely practical, the AVM 50 can delay the sound coming from speakers that are closer
to the listener. This way, sound reaches the listening area at the same time from all speakers, and proper
imaging can be achieved.
The speaker with the greatest distance setting will have no delay – speakers with shorter distance settings
will be delayed according to their setting.
Units of Measure and Distance Adjustment:
Choose the units you want to use (feet/metres), then enter the distance between your primary listening area
and each speaker. Range is 0-99 ft in 0.5 ft increments or 0-99 m in 0.2 m increments.
Speakers set to ‘Dipole’ in menu 2. SPEAKER CONFIGURATION will automatically have their distance set
to equal the greatest distance of any other speaker (see section 3.2).
L-Rear to R-Rear:
ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes the sound fed to the two surround and two rear
speakers to provide an optimal surround sound experience. Choose the setting that corresponds to the
spacing between your Rear speakers.
Example: Set Right Front speaker distance to 9.5 feet.
Enter the Setup Menu. Go to ‘3. LISTENER POSITION’ and press SELECT.
Press the button until you reach ‘d. RIGHT FRONT: 12.0 ft’.
Use the buttons to change to ‘9.5 ft’.
When finished, press  to go to another menu item, or...
Press BACK to leave the submenu and return to the main menu.
