Enjoying Surround Sound —Continued
Set the distance from the listening position to the speak-
ers.
With the distance set, the DVD receiver can keep con-
stant the time to deliver the sound from each speaker to
the listening position, thus providing more comfortable
sound environment for movies and music. The settings
are stored even when the DVD receiver is in the Standby
mode. For adjusting the sound balance, set the sound level for
each speaker so that you may hear an equivalent sound
volume of the test tone from each speaker.
