Esoteric P-03 - Manual (Page 29)

29
The Distance, Test Start and Test Tone settings will be required
after a future update of the P-03 to allow playback of the DVD
Audio format.
These settings have no effect on CD and Super Audio CD
playback and are not necessary unless the unit is updated.
Speaker distance (Distance)
Ideally, the speakers should be placed so that they are all the
same distance from the listening position. If this is not
possible, you should use the method described here to adjust
them individually.
Use the up and down cursors to adjust the numeric values for
each item.
Front speaker (L/R)
Set this distance in 0.1 m increments in the range 0.3 to 9 m.
The factory default is 3 m.
Center speaker (C)
Center speaker distance setting depends on the front speaker
setting. The maximum distance cannot be greater than the
distance set for the front speakers and must not be more
than 1.7 m shorter than this distance. Set the distance in 0.1
m increments.
The factory default is the same distance as the front speakers.
Surround speaker (SR/SL)
Like the center speakers, the surround speaker distance
setting depends on front speaker setting. The maximum
distance cannot be greater than the distance set for the front
speakers and must not be more than 9 m shorter than this
distance. The minimum distance setting is thus 0 m. Set the
distance in 0.1 m increments.
The factory default is the same distance as the front speakers.
< A change in the L/R value automatically changes the C and
SR/SL settings. Change the L/R setting before changing the C,
and SR/SL settings.
< When the value set for the front speakers (L/R) is outside the
range, adjust the differences between C and L/R and between
SR/SL and L/R to compensate.
Test tone start (Test Start)
Use the test tone feature to adjust the relative speaker level
while listening to the tone.
1. Select “Test Start” and press the ENTER button.
2. While listening to the test tone, use the up and down cursor
buttons to move between speakers and the right cursor
button select a speaker.
3. Use the up and down cursor buttons to change the numeric
values.
< The test tone is stopped when a higher level item is selected.
< Use the volume control on the amplifier to adjust the test
tone volume.
Test tone length (Test tone)
Select test tone length when level settings are made. Use the
cursor buttons to set the desired length and press the ENTER
button.
Use the up or down cursor buttons to change an option
marked “>” and press the ENTER button.
Select 2 sec, 5 sec or 10 sec.
