The receiver allows you to input the speaker position
in terms of distance. However, it is uot possible to set
the center speaker further than the front speakers.
Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than
1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surrmmd and surround back speakers
czm not be set farther 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 10 enjoy surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer
than the actual location of the speakers 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.
For example, setting the center speaker distance
I-2 m (3-6 feet) closer than the actual speaker
position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being
“inside” the screen, If you cannot obtain a satisfactory
surround effect because the surround speakers are too
close, setting the surround speaker distance closer
(shorter) than the actual distauce will create a large1
sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!

Lets you select the cut off frequency of the
LFE channel high cot filter. Normally, select
“STD”. When using a passive sub woofer
powered by a separate power amplifier, it may
be better to change the cut off frequency.
Set the sub woofer phase polarity. There is
usually no problem when the sub woofer phase
polarity is set to “NORMAL”. However,
depending on the type of front speakers, the
position of the sub woofer, and the cut-off
frequency of the sub woofer,
setting the
phase
polarity to “REVERSE” may produce better
bass. Besides bass reproduction, the richness
and tightness of the overall sound may also be
affected, While listening from the main
listening position, select the setting that best
suits your environsnent.
Use the remote while seated in your listening
position to adjust the level of each speaker.
