x Front speaker distance (
L
R
DIST.
XX ft.)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the front speakers (A on page 15).
x Center speaker distance (
C
DIST.
XX ft.)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the center speaker. Center speaker distance
should be set from a distance equal to the front
speaker distance (A on page 15) to a distance
5 feet closer to your listening position (B on
page 15).
x Surround speaker distance (
SL
SR
DIST. XX ft.)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the surround speakers. Surround speaker
distance should be set from a distance equal to
the front speaker distance (A on page 15) to a
distance 15 feet closer to your listening
position (C on page 15).
Tip
The receiver allows you to input the speaker position
in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set
the center speaker further than the front speakers.
Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than
5 feet closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set further
away from the listening position than the front
speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet
closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to enjoy surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer
than the actual location of the speakers will cause a
delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In
other words, the speaker will sound like it is further
away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance
3~6 feet closer than the actual speaker position will
create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the
screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround
effect because the surround speakers are too close,
setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter)
than the actual distance will create a larger sound
stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!
x Surround speaker placement (
SL
SR
PL. XXXX)*
This parameter lets you specify the height of
your surround speakers for proper
implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound
surround modes. Refer to the illustration below.
• Select “PL. LOW” if the location of your
surround speakers corresponds to section A.
• Select “PL. HIGH” if the location of your
surround speakers corresponds to section B.
* These parameters are not available when
“Surround speaker size (
SL
SR
)” is set to “NO”.
