Tip
The receb_,er lets 5ou to input the speaker position in
terms of distance. However. it is not possible to set
the center speaker lurther than the front speakers.
Also. the center speaker canuot be set more than
1.5 meter (5 feet) closer from the front speakers.
Likewise. the surround speakers can not be set
l_Lrther away li'om the listeniug position than the
lhont speakers. And they can be no more than
4.5 meter (15 lhet) closer. This is because incorrect
speaker placement is not conducive to the
m_joymmLt of surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer
than the actual location of the speakers will cause a
delay iLL the output of the sound from that speaker. ILL
other words, the speaker will souud like it is flmher
away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance
I-2 meter (3_6 feet) closer than the actual speaker
position will create a lairly realistic sensation of
being "inside" the screen. If you cannot obtain a
satisfactory surround effect because the surro/lnd
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 of tin/results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!

speakers t\_r proper implementation of the
surround effects in the Cinema Studio EX
modes (page 49). This setnp item is not
