Tips
• If you set up speakers using the Auto Calibration
function, you can adjust the speaker distance in 1
inch increment.
• The distance between the center speaker and the
listening position B cannot be more than 1.5
meters (5 feet) closer than the one between the
listening position and the front speaker A. Place
the speakers so that the difference in the length of
B in the following diagram is no more than 1.5
meters (5 feet) closer than the length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance B to 4.5 meters (15
feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters (20
feet).
Also, the distance between the surround speakers/
surround back speaker and the listening position
C cannot be more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer
than the distance between the listening position and
the front speakers A. Place the speakers so that the
difference in the length of C in the following
diagram is no more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer
than the length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance C to 1.5 meters (5
feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters (20
feet).
This is important because incorrect speaker
placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of
surround sound. Place note that placing the
speakers closer than the required 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.
