SBL DIST. (Surround back left
speaker distance)
x
SBR DIST. (Surround back right
speaker distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the surround back speakers.
If both surround back speakers are not placed
an equal distance from your listening position,
set the distance to the closest speaker.
Tip
The distance between the center speaker and the
listening position
B
cannot be more than 1.5 meters
closer than the one between the listening position
and the front speaker
A
. Place the speakers so that
the difference in the length of
B
in the following
diagram is no more than 1.5 meters closer than the
length of
A
.
Example: Adjust the distance
B
to 4.5 meters or
more when the distance
A
is 6 meters.
Also, the distance between the surround speakers/
surround back speakers and the listening position
C
cannot be more than 4.5 meters closer than the
distance between the listening position and the front
speakers
A
. Place the speakers so that the
difference in the length of
C
in the following
diagram is no more than 4.5 meters closer than the
length of
A
.
Example: Adjust the distance
C
to 1.5 meters or
more when the distance
A
is 6 meters.
This is important because incorrect speaker
placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of
surround sound. Please note that placing the
speakers closer than the required 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.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!

SW PHASE (Subwoofer phase
polarity)
*
Lets you set the subwoofer phase polarity.
• NORMAL
Normally, select “NORMAL”.
• REVERSE
Depending on the type of front speakers, the
position of the subwoofer, and the cut-off
frequency of the subwoofer, 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 environment.
*This parameter is not available when the sound
field is set to “2CH ST.”.

SUR POS.
(Surround speaker position)
Lets you specify the location of your surround
speakers for proper implementation of the
surround effects in the Cinema Studio EX
modes (page 53).
