 C)SP DISTANCE

Use this feature to manually input the distance of each 
speaker and adjust the delay applied to respective channel. 
Ideally, each speaker should be the same distance from the 
main listening position. However, this is not possible in 
most home situations. Thus, a certain amount of delay 
must be applied to the sound from each speaker so that all 
sound will arrive at the listening position at the same time.
