Tip

The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in

terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the

center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the

center speaker cannot be set more than 1.5 meters

closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set further

away from the listening position than the front

speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters

closer.

This is because incorrect speaker placement is not

conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.

Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than

the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in

the output of the sound from that speaker. In other

words, the speaker will sound like it is further away.

For example, setting the center speaker distance 1–2

meters closer than the actual speaker position will

create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the

screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround

effect because the surround speakers are too close,

setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter)

than the actual distance will create a larger sound stage.

Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound

often results in much better surround sound. Give it a

try!
