1.0 meter to 7.0 meters (3 to 23 feet) in 0.1 meter
(1 foot) steps.
* For models of area code U, CA, “X feet” is
displayed.
Tip
The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in
terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the
center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the
center speaker cannot be set more that 1.5 meters (5
feet) closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers can not 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 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 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
meters (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 surround 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
often results in much better surround sound. Give it a
try!
For advanced speaker setups
Use the CUSTOMIZE menu and set “MENU
EXPAND” to “ON”. This enables advanced
setups including those of the heights of the
surround speakers.
For details on “MENU EXPAND”, see page 42.
For details on how to set the items, see page 44.
