Tip
Tile receiver lets you to input the speaker position in
terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set tile
center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, tile
center speaker cannot be set more than 1.5 meters
(5 feet) closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set fllrther
away from the listening position than the front
speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters
(15 feet) closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.
Please note Ihat, setting the speaker distance closer than
the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in
the output of the sound from Ihat speaker. In other
words, the speaker will sound like it is fllrther away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 1 2
meters (3-6 feet) closer than the actual speaker position
will create a l.firly realistic sensation of being "inside"
the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround
effect because the surround speakers are too close,
setting the sunound 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!

Tip
Surround speaker position is designed specifically for
implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes.
For other sound fields, speaker position is not so
critical. Those sound fields were designed under the
premise that the surround speakers would be located
behind the listening position, but presentation remains
fairly consistent even with the surround speakers
positioned at a ralher wide angle. However, if the
speakers are pointing toward the listener from the
immediate left and right of Ihe listening position, the
stlrround

becomes
unclear
unless
set to
"SIDFJLO" or "S[DE/HI".
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain
better results using "BEHD/HI" if your speakers are
located high above the listening position, even if they
are to the immediate lel}and right.
Therefi_re, although it may result in a setting contrary
to the above explanation, we recommend that you
plwback multi channel surround encoded sofl_ are and
select the setting that provides a good sense of
spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a
cohesive space between the surround sound from the
surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers.
lfyou are not sure which sounds best, select
"BEHD/LO" or "BEHD/HI" and then use the speaker
distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to
obtain proper balance.
