';ci' About speaker
distances
This unit allows 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 5 fe& (15 meters) closer than the front speakers
Likewise,
the rear speakers
can not be set farther away from the
listening position then the front speakers
And they can be no
more than 15 feet* (4 5 meters) 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
ln other words, the speaker will
sound like it is farther away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 3-6 feeP (l-2 m)
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 rear speakers are too
close, setting the rear speaker distance closer (shorter)
than the
actual distance will create a larger soundstage
Adjusting
these parameter
while listening to the sound often
results in much better surround
sound Give it a try!
