Use this menu to specify the distance of each
speaker’s position from the listening position. The
delay time is automatically calculated according to
these distances.
Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly
used seating position in the room.
This is important for the timing of the acoustics to
create the proper sound space that the unit and
today’s sound systems are able to produce.

Note:

• For speakers for which you have selected “NONE”,

the speaker confi guration sub-menu will not appear
here. (There are several useful books and special
DVD and LD’s available to guide you through proper
home theater confi guration. If you are unsure, have
your Marantz dealer perform the installation for you.
They are trained professionals familiar with even
the most sophisticated custom installations. Marantz
recommends the www.cedia.org website for further
information.)
