Speaker distance
Ideally, the speakers should be placed so that they are all the
same distance from the listening position. If this is not
possible, you should use the method described here to adjust
them individually. It is also possible to adjust all distances
together. The point of these settings is to provide the best
synchronization between sound and image by delaying the
sound by an amount proportional to the distance of each
speaker. The subwoofer is not included in this setting (the
placement of the subwoofer is less critical than that of other
speakers).
The L/R setting changes the distance of all speakers together.
Pressing the up button adds 0.1m to each value, and pressing
the down button subtracts 0.1m from each value.
Distances are measured in meters (1 meter = just over 3 feet,
and 0.1 meter = about 4 inches). The default setting is 3m or
about 10 feet.

After setting the L/R, C and SR/SL speaker distances together,
you can now set the center and surround pair distances. The
minimum distance for these is 0m and the maximum is 9m,

The distance that you set for the center speaker cannot be
greater than the distance set for the L/R pair and must be
within 1.7m of that L/R distance.
So for example, if the distance to the L/R pair is set to 5.0m,
the center distance must be between 3.3m (5 – 1.7) and 5m.
