Advanced Setup
To get the best from surround sound, it’s important that
the sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the
same time. To achieve this, you need to specify the dis-
tance from each speaker to the listening position.
Note:
• If the distance between the furthest and nearest speak-
ers is greater than 20 feet (6 meters), corrected values
suitable for home theater use will be set automatically.
