About speaker distances
This receiver allows you to input the speaker position in terms of
distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker
farther away than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker can
not be set more that 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the front
speakers.
Likewise, the rear speakers cannot be set farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no
more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to
enjoy the 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 farther away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 1~2 m (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 rear speakers are too
close, setting the rear speaker distance closer (shorter) than the
actual distance will create a larger soundstage. (1 foot
corresponds to a 1 ms difference.)
Adjusting these parameters while listening to the sound often
results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
