Distance adjustment
External speakers are usually not evenly spaced
around the listener. For example, the front speakers
may be further away than the rear speakers. Due to a
relatively slow speed of sound, an audio output from
different speakers may reach the listener out of sync.
To avoid this, you can synchronise the speakers by
specifying the distance of each speaker from the lis-
tening position.
Follow these steps to set the distance:
1. Press and hold
onds on the remote control. FL appears on the
soundbar display.
2. Use the + / - button to change the distance of the
selected speaker from the listening position.
3. Use
/
buttons to select a speaker.
Example: when the display shows "FL3,0", it means
that the current set distance for the left front speaker
is 3 meter. You should now measure the distance from
this speaker to the listening position and adjust it.
For example, if the distance is 2,5 meters, press the +
button until "FL2,5" is displayed. When you have fin-
ished adjusting this speaker, press the
adjust the distance for the next speaker.
Note: In this way, you can also make a correction if
there are echo problems due to different signal pro-
cessing times of the connected devices.
