Effective Distance Adjustment; Using The Position Fine Tuning Function - Pioneer RS-A9 Owner's Manual

Effective distance Adjustment Using the Position Fine Tuning function
— Relation to Time Alignment Adjustment function —
The distance between the listening position and each speaker can be tuned using either of
two methods.
Time Alignment Adjustment function of the Network Menu (page 33)
The distance between the listening position and each speaker of each band (high, mid, low
and subwoofer) can be adjusted for the left and right speakers.
Adjustment of difference in distance with the Position Fine Tuning function
Overall adjustment is performed for left and right speakers regardless of the band. The
same adjustments are made for high, midrange, low and subwoofer bands.
Combine the two methods to ensure the position of the sound images are set up more
effectively.
1. Adjust the distance from each speaker using the Time Alignment
Adjustment function of the Network Menu (refer to page 33).
2. Adjust the overall distance balance between the left and right speakers

using the Position Fine Tuning Function.

Use the set values for the Time Alignment Adjustment function to fine tune the overall
balance of the sound image positions.
3. Use the Position Fine Tuning Function to adjust the overall level balance
between the left and right speakers.
Adjust the difference in sound levels between the left and right speakers so that the
sound image is in the front.
When you have made adjustments for difference in distance using the Position Fine
Tuning function
• After adjusting the difference in distance with the Position Fine Tuning function and switching to
the Time Alignment Adjustment Screen, the values set using the Position Fine Tuning function are
added to the values previously set using the Time Alignment function and the sum values are dis-
played.
• If you want to store the displayed values in memory as new values for the Time Alignment function
(standard values for the Position Fine Tuning function), adjust any on value again by pressing the
5/∞ buttons. The displayed values are stored in memory and the difference in distance set with the
Position Fine Tuning function is reset and returned to 0.
When the distance has been using the Time Alignment Adjustment function
• Adjustment of the difference in distance using the Position Fine Tuning function is based on time
alignment adjustment delay time. When you have set a delay time using the Time Alignment
Adjustment function, since the standard value is changed, the difference in distance set using the
Position Fine Tuning function is reset and returned to 0.
