Setting up the Speaker Delay Time

When 5.1CH Surround Sound is played, you can enjoy the best sound if the distance between you and each speaker is the same. Since the sounds arrive at the listening position at different times depending on the placement of speakers, you can adjust this difference by adding a delay effect to the sound of the Center and Surround Speakers.

Note

•With (Dolby Pro Logic II), the delay time may be different for each mode.

•With AC-3 and DTS, the delay time can be set between 00 and 15mSEC.

•The Center channel is only adjustable on 5.1 channel discs.
