Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker’s position
from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated
according to these distances.
Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating
position in the room.
This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper
sound space that the SR5300 and today’s sound systems are able to
produce.
Note that the speakers that you selected “NONE” for in the Speaker
Config sub-menu will not appear here.
(There are several useful books and special DVD and LD’s available
to guide you through proper home theater configuration. If you are
unsure, have your Marantz dealer perform the installation for you.
They are trained professionals familiar with even the most
sophisticated custom installations.)

will need to use the 6.1CH-INPUT sub menu. (See page 19).

• In order to correctly set the output levels, use a hand-held Sound

Pressure Level meter (SPL), set to C-Weighting and Slow
averaging.  A Radio Shack

®

 SPL meter (catalogue number 330

- 2055) works well.  Using the internal channel noise
generators, set each channel so that you read 75 dB SPL from
each channel when seated at the listening position.
