■ Rear speaker distance
REAR XX.X meter
Initial setting : 3.5 meter
Set the distance from your listening position to the rear
(left or right) speaker.
• Rear speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot)
steps from 1.0 to 12.0 meters (3 to 40 feet).
• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from
your listening position, set the distance to the closest
speaker.
Ç About speaker distances
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the
actual IcKation 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 farther away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 1-2 m (3-6 feet)
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 rear speakers are too
close, setting the rear speaker distance closer (shorter) than the
actual distance will crèate a larger soundstage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often
results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
■ Sub woofer distance
S.W XX.X meter
Initial setting : 5.0 meter
Set the distance from your listening position to the sub
woofer.
• Sub woofer distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot) steps
from 1.0 to 12.0 meters (3 to 40 feet).
S.W PHASE [NORMAL]
lniti.ll sotting : NORMAL
Sot tho sub woofor ph.iso pol.irity.
There is usually no problem when the sub woofer phase
polarity is sot to "NORMAL'. Howev er, depending on the
type of front speakers, the position of the sub woofer, and
the cut-off frequency of the sub woofer, setting the phase
polarity to 'REVERSE" may produce better bass.
Besides bass reproduction, the richness and tightness of
the overall sound may also be affected. While listening
from the main listening position, select the setting that
best suits your enyironment.
