5.2.2 Distance setup: This menu is used to synchronize the sound coming from several speakers so it arrives to the
listeners’ ears at the same time. Proper synchronization makes it possible for the listener to localize the apparent source of
a sound in the surround environment. Setup of the delay time to be applied to the Center and Surround speakers is a
simple matter of measuring the relative distances from the listener to the speakers.
Measure the distances of all your speakers from the listening position. The Left and Right Front speakers should each be
approximately the same distance from the listening position. If the difference between the left and the right front channels
exceeds 2 feet or 0.7 meters, an error message will appear showing that the delay exceeds 2 ms between the left and the
right main channels.
To change the unit of measurement used in the distance setup, you must go to the “display setup” menu and select feet or
meters.
These displays show that you have accessed the Distance setup sub-menu and
highlighted the Left speaker distance. You can scan through the available choices by
pressing the \/ and /\ buttons on the remote. When the speaker you wish to adjust is
highlighted press the < or > key to decrease or increase the level. To leave the menu
and save the settings scroll down to Exit and press the ENTER key.

You can set the speaker distances by pressing the left and right arrow keys. The range of adjustment is from 0 ft to
63 ft (21m). However, the maximum recommended difference between the nearest and most distant speaker is 15
ft (5m). Distance values outside of the above stated limits will be displayed in a different color, usually red. The
most distant speaker should be moved closer or the nearest speaker should be moved further to avoid this
situation.
If a speaker is not defined in the Size setup, “None” is displayed and the distance cannot be changed.
5.2.3
Size setup:
The size setup defines which speakers can handle full range signals as in the case of “Large”
speakers. The subwoofer settings are also in this menu.
These displays show that you have accessed the Size setup sub-menu and highlighted the
Main speaker size control. You can scan through the available choices by pressing the
\/ and /\ buttons on the remote. When the speaker you wish to adjust is highlighted
press the < or > key to set the speaker size. To leave the menu and save the settings
scroll down to Exit and press the ENTER key.
TV Display Panel Display
Speakers that can handle a full range frequency signal should be set to “Large.”
Speakers that cannot handle a full range frequency signal should be set to “Small.” The bass portion of their signal
will be redirected to the front large speakers or the subwoofer if present.
If a speaker is not present (e.g. Center) you should set it to “None.”
If there is only one rear speaker connected, select “1 Small” or “1 Large” depending on the size of the speaker and
connect this rear speaker to the LEFT SURR REAR output of the 7.1 output section.
If the subwoofer filter is set to off, the signal from the small speakers is fed to the subwoofer without the digital low
pass filter. The crossover frequency setting will have no effect. You may wish to do this if your subwoofer has its
own built-in filter.
