proper delay needed for effective surround sound.

RETURN

.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Tip

• For best surround sound, make sure the surround

back speakers are the same distance from the
listening position.

when played back in large rooms. The X-Curve setting
acts as a kind of re-equalization for home theater
listening, and restores proper tonal balance of movie

soundtracks.
