7 Setting the speaker distance
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of
the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect
from the Surround/DSP modes.
By referring to the speaker distance, the receiver automatically
sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that
sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.
• If you have used Smart Surround Setup on pages 16 and 17,
this setting is not required.
