Speaker Distance
Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an
effective surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your speakers to
add the proper delay. The following steps show you how to set the delay time for each channel by specifying the
distances from your listening position to each speaker. Once you specify the speaker distances (or it is done
automatically in the Easy Setup Guide), the receiver calculates the correct delay times automatically. If continuing
from CHANNEL LEVEL go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1–2 on page 38.
1 The SPEAKER DISTANCE should be
selected. If it isn’t use the buttons to
select it. Press the ENTER button.
The setup possibilities appear on your TV.
2 Select each speaker channel with the
buttons and press ENTER.
3Use the buttons to add or subtract
the distance in feet that the speaker is
from your normal listening position.
Press the ENTER button.
Adjust the speaker distance in half foot increments from 0.5
to 45 feet.
The default setting is 10 feet.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all speaker
channels.
5Use the buttons to select EXIT and
press ENTER.
If you want to change a setting before proceeding
start over from step 1.
6 Press the SYSTEM SETUP button to
leave the SYSTEM SETUP mode.
