Graphical user interface (GUI) menu ■ Speaker Distance (Speaker distance) Use this feature to manually adjust the distance of each speaker and the delay applied to the respective channel.

Thus, a certain amount of delay must be applied to the sound from each speaker so that all sounds will arrive at the listening position at the same time.
