Setting Up For Surround Sound; Setting The Speaker Distances - Pioneer HTZ-55DV Operating Instructions Manual

Setting up for surround sound

You can use this system right out of the box for surround sound with just the default settings.
However, for really great surround sound, we recommend that you spend a few minutes making
some settings that match this system to your listening room. These include setting the distances
from your listening position to your speakers, and balancing the speaker volumes. Unless you
change the layout of your speakers or main listening position, you only need to make these
settings once.
