Tip
The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in
terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set
the center speaker further than the front speakers.
Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than
1.5 meters closer from the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set
further away from the listening position than the
front speakers. And they can be no more than
4.5 meters closer. This is because incorrect speaker
placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of
surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer
than the actual location of the speakers will cause a
delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In
other words, the speaker will sound like it is further
away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance
1–2 meters closer than the actual speaker position
will create a fairly realistic sensation of being
“inside” the screen. If you cannot obtain a
satisfactory surround effect because the surround
speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker
distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will
create a larger sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!
