PT-7030: User Manual
Speaker Distance
The Speaker Distance Menu allows you to inform the PT-7030 of the distances from the listening
position to each speaker. Sound being sent to each speaker is delayed by a carefully calculated
amount to compensate for differences in the distance between each speaker and the listening
position, ensuring the best surround sound “sound image”. If possible, distances should be accurate
to within a few inches, although good results can be achieved with far less accuracy.
Note: Even though the PT-7030 will compensate for speakers being different distances from
the listener, you will still get the best overall sound image if speakers from each set (the
Front Right and Front Left, or the two surrounds) are similar distances from the listener.
Note: If you have a large listening area (like a couch), use distances measured to the central
seat or the center of the listening area.
