x SBR DIST. (Surround back right 

Lets you set the distance from your listening 
position to the surround back speakers.

a)

You can only select this parameter when the 
surround back speakers are set to “SINGLE” in 
SYSTEM menu.

b)

You can only select this parameter when the 
surround back speakers are set to “DUAL” in 
SYSTEM menu.

The distance between the center speaker and the 
listening position B cannot be more than 1.5 meters 
closer than the one between the listening position 
and the front speaker A. Place the speakers so that 
the difference in the length of B in the following 
diagram is no more than 1.5 meters closer than the 
length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance B to 4.5 meters or 
more when the distance A is 6 meters.
Also, the distance between the surround speakers/
surround back speakers and the listening position 
C cannot be more than 4.5 meters closer than the 
distance between the listening position and the front 
speakers A. Place the speakers so that the 
difference in the length of C in the following 
diagram is no more than 4.5 meters closer than the 
length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance C to 1.5 meters or 
more when the distance A is 6 meters.
This is important because incorrect speaker 
placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of 
surround sound. Please note that placing the 
speakers closer than the required will cause a delay 
in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other 
words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the 
sound often results in much better surround sound. 
Give it a try!
