If you specify the distance from the center of the
currently set listening position to every speaker,
the delay time will be automatically computed
and set.
1 Determine the center of the currently set
listening position as the reference point.
2 Measure the distances from the reference
point to the speakers.
3 Calculate the differences between the
distance of the furthest speaker (rear
speaker) and other speakers.
4 Set the [DISTANCE] calculated in step
individual speakers.
5 Adjust [GAIN] for individual speakers.
