The 

SPEAKER DIST

 menu allows you to 

specify the distance of each speaker from the 
listening position, in feet or metres. The SPA23 will 
then add delays to each channel to ensure that 
the sound from each speaker reaches the listener 
at the same time.

You can also add an extra delay to the surround 
speakers to make the sound more spacious.

  Use the 

<

 and 

>

 buttons on the remote 

control to adjust the distance or delay.

In 

GENERAL

 mode you can adjust the 

distance between 0 and 20 feet (0 and 6m). 
Setting 

DISTANCE UNITS

 to 

MS

 shows the 

calculated delays and allows you to adjust them 
directly.
