When you installed your Cinema BD300 system, you may have had to place some speakers a little farther away from the listening position than others. Sounds that are supposed to arrive simultaneously from different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times. The BD300 receiver provides an adjustment that compensates for these real-world speaker placement differences, so your Cinema BD300 system can deliver a superior surround-sound experience. (Even if all your speakers are the same distance from the listening position you still need to enter their distances.)1. Measure the distance from each speaker (except the subwoofer) to your main listening position. Write the distances down.2.
