SETUP MENU OPTIONS

2. Distance: The speaker distance parameters set delay control for the corresponding audio channel.

The delay is to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the placement of

speakers.

Speaker distance compensation is not required if the A/V receiver has the capability to adjust

channel delay and compensate for speaker distance differences. However, if your receiver does

not have such functions (most receivers do not offer these functions for their multi-channel analog

input), you may adjust them through the player. Speaker distance delay is only applied if the player

is decoding multi-channel audio. If you use bitstream audio output to your A/V receiver, the

bitstream audio is not adjusted for speaker distance delay.

Since the delay is calculated based on the distance difference from each speaker to the listener’s

position, it is important to set the distance for the front speakers first and then the other

speakers. Any time you change the distance of the front speakers, the distance of the other

speakers will be automatically adjusted to maintain the same distance difference.

Speaker Icons:

FL - Front Left

FR - Front Right

C - Center

SW - Subwoofer

SL - Surround Left

SR - Surround Right

SBL - Surround Back Left

SBR - Surround Back Right

Distances:

1 - Listener to Front

2 - Listener to Center

3 - Listener to Surround Left

For example, in the above diagram, measure the distance (in feet) from the primary listening

position to the Front Left or Front Right Speaker. Your Front Right and Left speakers should

measure the same distance. If they do not, please adjust them if possible. Enter the distance of the

Front Speakers (n in the above picture) into the “Speaker Configuration” menu.

Next, measure the distance (in feet) from center speaker (o) to the listening position. Move the

cursor to highlight the Center speaker in the Channel Delay setup page, and enter the distance (as

close as possible) in feet. Repeat for each speaker in the system (Center, Surround Left, Surround

Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Back Right and Subwoofer) as available. The player will insert

appropriate delay to the center, subwoofer and surround channels to make sure sound waves from

different speakers arrive at the listener at the same time.

Distance between the surround speakers and the listener must be shorter than or equal to that

between the front speakers and the listener.

If the channel delay settings cannot match your speaker configuration, please set all distances to

the same and use your receiver/amplifier to set the channel delay.

NOTE

The front, surround and surround back speakers are configured as pairs. Changes to the

distance of one speaker will automatically change the other speaker of the pair.
