Configuring the digital surround processor

The next stage in configuring the 565 is to specify information
about each of the speakers in your layout, and adjust their
delays to time-align the system so that sounds are coincident
when they arrive at the listening position.
To time-align the system
Before setting up the speaker outputs you need to measure the
distance, in cm or inches, to each speaker from the listening
position.
● As you measure each distance, write it against the
appropriate line in the diagram opposite (or a copy of it).
Measure from the ear height at the listening position to the
tweeter on each speaker (where applicable).
Then decide which speaker is furthest from the listening
position; this distance is referred to as furthest below.
