Tip
The receiver lets _ou to input the speakerposition ill
terms of distmlce. Ho'_ ever, it is not possible to set
the center speaker further than tile from speakers.
Also. the center speaker cannot be set more than
5 feet closer from the front speakers.
Likewise. the surround speakers call not be set
fimher away from tile listening position than tile
front speakers. And they can be no more than 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 ill the output of the sound l'ron/that speaker. Ill
other words, the speaker will sound like it is further
a¥\ ay.
For example, setting tile center speaker distance
3-6 feet closer than tile 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 tile surround speaker distance
closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a
larger sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to tile
sound often results ill much better surround sound.
Give it a try!
