Speaker Distance
Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an
effective surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your speakers to
add the proper delay. The following steps show you how to set the delay time for each channel by specifying the
distances from your listening position to each speaker. Once you specify the speaker distances (or it is done
automatically in the Easy Setup Guide), the receiver calculates the correct delay times automatically. If continuing
from CHANNEL LEVEL go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1–2 on page 40.
1 The SPEAKER DISTANCE should be
selected. If it isn’t use the  buttons
to select it. Press the ENTER button.
The setup possibilities appear on your TV.
2 Select each speaker channel with the
 buttons and press ENTER.
3 Use the  buttons to add or
subtract the distance in feet that the
speaker is from your normal listening
position. Press the ENTER button.
Adjust the speaker distance in 0.1 m increments from 0.1
to 9.0 m.
The default setting is 2.0 m.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all speaker
channels.
5 Use the  buttons to select EXIT
and press ENTER.
If you want to change a setting before proceeding
start over from step 1.
6 Press the SYSTEM SETUP button to
leave the SYSTEM SETUP mode.
