Amplifier Operations Tips • If you set "CAL LOAD" in A. CAL menu to "LOAD YES", you can adjust the speakers distance in 0.01 meter (1 inch) increment. • The distance between the center speaker and the listening position B cannot be more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the one between the listening position and the front speaker A. Place the speakers so that the difference in the length of B in the following diagram is no more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the length of A. Example: Adjust the distance B to 4.5 meters (15 feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters (20 feet). Also, the distance between the surround speakers and the listening position C cannot be more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer than the distance between the listening position and the front speakers A. Place the speakers so that the difference in the length of C in the following diagram is no more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer than the length of A. Example: Adjust the distance C to 1.5 meters (5 feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters (20 feet).
