The Speaker Distance control automatically sets the appropriate time
delays for all of the loudspeakers in a system. Although this adjustment is
not a substitute for proper speaker placement, it will help to ensure accurate
signal arrival times from all channels at the listening position.
To set up Speaker Distance, you must physically measure the distance from
the primary listening position to the front baffle of each individual speaker
in your system. An easy and accurate way to accomplish this is to have a
person sit in the primary listening position, holding the end of a measuring
tape, while a second person extends the tape measure to the front baffle of
each speaker in turn.
To enter these values, select SPEAKER DISTANCE in the Listener Position
menu and press SELECT. Use ▲ and ▼ to highlight feet or meters and press
SELECT. Press SELECT again to highlight NEAREST SPKR. Use ▲ and ▼
to enter the actual distance, then press DONE.
