Marantz SR6300 User Guide - Page 22

ENGLISH SPEAKER DISTANCE (TIME ALIGNMENT) Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker's position from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated according to these distances. Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating position in the room. This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper sound space that the SR6300 and today's sound systems are able to produce. Note that the speakers that you selected "NONE" for in the Speaker Config sub-menu will not appear here. (There are several useful books and special DVD and LD's available to guide you through proper home theater configuration. If you are unsure, have your Marantz dealer perform the installation for you. They are trained professionals familiar with even the most sophisticated custom installations.) 2 - 2 SPEAKERS D I STANCE FRONT L / R : 1 0 f t CENTER : 10 f t SURR . L : 1 0 f t SURR .
