Thanks,I did't notice that the manual was released.

The manual reads as we see here but that does not answer my question. I would still like to know if the auto setup is more accurate. perhaps it uses a higher internal resolution to set the delays and volume levels, ultimately providing a more accurate setting. Perhaps this question can't be answered at this time.

When positioning speakers using an in/out of phase test tone, a couple of inches can make a big change in the swing of an SPL meter. If one's speaker positions are defined and you must use delays, two or three tenths of a foot can make the difference between a radical swing and none at all.

Although this is not a critical point to everyone it can make a huge difference in the stereo soundfield. I've seen this first-hand.

I agree that it is critical to have all speakers adjustable. Not everyone has a dedicated room or a forgiving SO.

The half db volume increments are not as important to me.
