3 Setting the Speaker Distance

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another
important element to obtain the best possible sound of the Surround
[Front panel]
and DSP modes. You need to set the distance from your listening
point to the speakers.
By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically
sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds
through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.
