In the case of the rear speakers you will normally add a delay
to increase the spaciousness of the sound.

SELECTOR on the front panel or the A and V buttons

control to adjust the delay.
Adjust the value according to the distance of each speaker

settings.

SETTING THE SPEAKER LEVELS
You should next set the speaker levels, so that the sound
from each speaker is equally loud at the listening position.
The SP31.7 allows you to set the levels for the GENERAL

connect a microphone to the SP31.7 to set the levels
automatically for all the loudspeakers.
• The MANUAL option allows you to adjust each speaker
to equalize the loudness at the listening position.
You can also manually define levels for the DD, DTS, and
OTHER layouts which add to the GENERAL levels when
the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or two-channel.
