Setting the center delay
In the procedure below, select the values which approximate the actual distances.
This operation consists of entering the time error between output of sound from each speaker type (front, center and surround) and arrival at the listening position. The user should measure the distance from the listening position to each speaker type and obtain the time error (delay time) based on the appropriate table.
Assume that the distance from the listening position to the left/right front speakers is (L).
Assume that the distance from the listening position to the center speaker is (L1).
Assume that the distance from the listening position to the surround speakers is (L2).
Calculate the difference between (L) and (L1), find the closest value to it from the table below and obtain the center delay time.
For example, when (L) is 16 feet (5 meters) and (L1) is 13 feet (4 meters),
(L) – (L1) = 16 – 13 = 3 feet / 5 – 4 = 1 meter
Since the closest value to 3 feet (1 meter) in the table below is 3/0.9 (ft/m), the center delay time to be set is 3.
1. | Press SPEAKER ADJUST repeatedly until |
| “CenterDelay” is displayed. |
2. | Press PRESET/ADJUST ™/£ repeatedly to |
| select the center delay value. |

Setting the surround delay
Calculate the difference between (L) and (L2), find the closest value to it from the table below and obtain the surround delay time.
For example, when (L) is 16 feet (5 meters) and (L2) is 6 feet (2 meters),
(L) – (L2) = 16 – 6 = 10 feet / 5 – 2 = 3 meters
Since the value of 10 feet (3 meters) is found in the 11th line in the table below, the surround delay time to be set is 10.

1.Press SPEAKER ADJUST repeatedly until “Surr Delay” is displayed.
2.Press PRESET/ADJUST ™/£ repeatedly to select the surround delay value.
It can be selected from 0 to 15 ms.
