recommended that you do read these sections to understand the reasons for
these settings and their implications.
Speaker Delay
Because the speakers in a surround sound system are usually different
distances from the listener the 351R incorporates the ability to apply a
variable digital delay to each of the channels so that the sound from each
arrives at the same time at the listening position for best surround-sound
effect.
To set the delay times automatically, refer to the "Auto setup" section of this
manual.
To set the delay times manually, simply measure the distances from the
listening position to each speaker as shown in the following diagram:
No delay setting for the subwoofer is necessary.
Set the distances in the OSD Speaker Distance menu to the nearest value

Go to the 'Speaker Distance' and highlight each speaker in turn. Set the

Level calibration
The 351R allows level calibration to match the acoustic level between
different types/sizes or even manufacturers of speaker that may be being

the OSD or automatically, see the following Auto setup section of this manual.

Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter (more accurate and recommended but not
essential) the level of sound produced by each speaker and set relative levels
for each speaker so that they all sound the same loudness at the normal
listening position. The 351R incorporates a Test Signal Generator (broad-
band white noise) to facilitate this.
Press the
button on the remote control to turn on the OSD then select the
'Speaker Level' menu. Now turn on the test signal by highlighting this item
and pressing the Left or Right arrows:
You can now move up and down the channels using Volume
/
on the
remote. Each time a new channel is selected the test signal will be heard to
move to that channel. Compare the loudness of all channels as heard at the
listening position.
A "rushing" or "hissy" sound should be heard.

CAMCAS Auto speaker setup for Distance/Level
The 351R includes our simple automatic speaker setup system called
'CAMCAS' (Cambridge Audio Mic Controlled Auto Setup). The system performs
