Delay Adjust

In all probability, your speakers won’t all be at the same distance from your main viewing/listening position. That means that the sound from each speaker won’t reach your ears at the same time. And that means that you won’t hear the soundtrack exactly as you should hear it – the soundstage, particularly surround effects, will be altered, in some cases subtly and in other cases more obviously. That is why Delay Adjustment is important!

The Model 1070 makes it easy to adjust the delay without any fancy calcula- tions involving microseconds or other esoteric quantities. You simply tell your receiver how far each speaker is from your main viewing/listening position and the Model 1070 will take care of the rest!

Before proceeding, measure the distance from each speaker to your main viewing/listening position and write the measurements down.

To set the Delay for each channel:

1.Press the MENU button on the front panel or the remote to display the Main Menu.

5.Move the cursor to front left by using the and buttons on the front panel or remote.

6.Press the button on the front panel or remote to increase the distance, or to lower it

You can adjust the distance from 0 to 20 feet (6 meters).

If a speaker is farther than 20 feet, follow the steps in the section Delay Settings for Larger Rooms.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 for all the speakers in your system.

7.When you have finished setting the delay for all of the channels in your system, move the cursor to return to MAIN menu by using the and buttons on the front panel or remote.

8.Press SET on the front panel or the remote.

Delay Settings for Large Rooms.

If one or more of your speakers are greater than 20 feet away from your favorite viewing spot, use the following procedure.

1.Measure the distance from each speaker to your main viewing/ listening position.

2.Write down each measurement.

3.Subtract 20 from the longest measurement.

4.Use the resulting answer as an “offset” for all the distances.

For example, the longest measurement in your system is the Back Surround Left speaker at 26 feet. Subtract 20 from it. The answer of 6 becomes your offset. Now subtract the offset number from the actual measured distances to get the measurements that you’d enter.
