Optimizing sound by Time Alignment - Listening Position The unit can change the localization of sound by delaying the sound output from each speaker to suit your position, and simulate a natural sound field with the feeling of being in the center of it wherever you sit in the car. The options for "Listening Position Front/Rear" are indicated below. "Front R" (1): Front right "Front L" (2): Front left "Front" (3): Center front "All" (4): In the center of your car "Custom": Precisely calibrated position (page 39) "off": No position set You can also set the approximate subwoofer position from your listening position if: - the subwoofer is connected - the listening position is set to "Front R," "Front L," "Front" or "All." The options for "Listening Position Subwoofer" are indicated below.

Optimizing sound by Time
Alignment — Listening Position
The unit can change the localization of sound by
delaying the sound output from each speaker to
suit your position, and simulate a natural sound
field with the feeling of being in the center of it
wherever you sit in the car.
The options for “Listening Position Front/Rear”
are indicated below.
You can also set the approximate subwoofer
position from your listening position if:
– the subwoofer is connected
– the listening position is set to “Front R,” “Front
L,” “Front” or “All.”
The options for “Listening Position Subwoofer”
are indicated below.
“Near”
(
A
): Near
“Normal”
(
B
): Normal
“Far”
(
C
): Far
