1 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up
with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Speaker setting on page 40.

accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
