Speaker Distance
To get the best from surround sound, it’s important that
the sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the
same time. To achieve this, you need to specify the dis-
tance from each speaker to the listening position.
Notes:
The Center and Subwoofer distances can be set up to
5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Front distance. For
example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the
Center and Subwoofer distances can be set between 15
and 25 ft. (4.5 and 7.5 m).
The Surround and Surround Back distances can be set
up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the
Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set
to 20 ft. (6 m), the SurrRight, Surr Left, Surr Back R,
and Surr Back L distances can be set between 5 and 25
ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).
