3.4 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. Speakers set to ‘Dipole’ in menu 3. SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
have their distance set internally to the greatest distance that you enter for the other speakers.
Distance Adjustment:
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.
Example: Set Center speaker distance to 11 feet.
• Enter the Setup Menu. Go to ‘4. LISTENER POSITION’ and press SELECT.
• Press the button until you reach ‘b. CENTER’.
• Use the buttons to change to ‘11.0 ft’.
• When finished, press to go to another menu item, or...
• Press BACK to leave the submenu and return to the main menu.
Rear-L to Rear-R Distance:
ASA (Advanced Speaker Array) is a proprietary THX technology that processes the sound fed to the two
surround and two rear speakers to provide an optimal surround sound experience. When using all 7.1
speaker outputs, placing the two Rear speakers close together will provide the largest sweet spot. If for
practical reasons you have to place the Rear speakers further apart, choose the setting that most closely
corresponds to the speaker spacing to re-optimize the surround soundfield.
