Set the distance between the center speaker and listening position.
The distance changes in units of 0.03 meters (0.1 foot) each time the button is
pressed. Select the value closest to the measured distance.

If "Yes" is selected for "Default", the settings are automatically reset
to the default values.
Please note that the difference of distance for every speaker should be 6.0
