span.
The distance can be set within a range of 0.5 to
45 feet in 0.5 foot steps.

FINE CHANNEL DELAY
The following steps show you how to adjust the delay level of your speakers more finely than in the NORMAL
setup (see page 36). Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth,
separation as well as an effective surround sound effect. Do this procedure if you want to try and get even finer
surround sound.
The main difference with this setup method and the CHANNEL DELAY setup method in NORMAL setup is that
here the test tone sounds from a reference channel and you use that to measure the target speaker (that is, the
speaker whose level you want to adjust).
