Multi channel surround setup (continued) x Front speaker distance ( L R DIST. XX ft.) Set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A on page 16). x Center speaker distance ( C DIST. XX ft.) Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 16) to a distance 5 feet closer to your listening position (B on page 16). x Surround speaker distance ( SL SR DIST. XX ft.) Set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers. Surround speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 16) to a distance 15 feet closer to your listening position (C on page 16). Tip The receiver allows 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 5 feet closer than the front speakers. Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set further away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet closer. This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to enjoy 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 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 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! x Surround speaker placement ( SL SR PL. XXXX)* This parameter lets you specify the height of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound surround modes. Refer to the illustration below. • Select "PL. LOW" if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section A. • Select "PL. HIGH" if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section B. B B 60 A A 30 * These parameters are not available when "Surround speaker size ( SL SR )" is set to "NO". 18US
