In order to provide optimal performance, the PAV/PDSD system needs to know
where your speakers are located relative to the primary listening chair. With this
information, it can adjust the timing of the delivery of the various channels of
sound so that sounds that are supposed to reach you at the same time actually
do so—even though the speakers from which those sounds emanate may be at
different distances from the listener.
By now you should be quite comfortable navigating the PAV/PDSD menus, so we
will simplify the “how-to” explanations. If you are coming directly to this portion
of the manual without having read the previous sections, please review those
sections before proceeding. They contain important information you need to
know about, in addition to detailing the menu navigation system. Try starting at
