"_" About speaker distances
This trait allows you to input the speaker position in terms of
distance. However; it is not possible to set the center speaker
further than the fl'ont speakers. Also, the center speaker cannot he
set more that 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer than the flont speakers.
Likewise, the rear L/R speakers can not he set farther away from
the listening position than the fl'ont speakers. And they can he no
more than 15 feet (4.5 meters) closei:
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to
the enjoyment of 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 sotmd fl'om that speaker: In other words, the speaker will
sound like it is farther away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 36 feet (1 -2 m)
closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic
sensation of being "inside" the screen. If you cannot obtain a
satisfactory surrotmd eftbct because the rear L/R speakers are too
close, setting the rear L/R speaker distance closer (shorter) than
the actual distance will create a larger sotmdstage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often
restflts in nmch hetter surrotmd sotmd. Give it a try!
