Go-Video 3000, DVS3100 Open Speaker Setup, Select Channel Delays, Set Center Channel Delay

Channel Delays

Ideally all of your speakers will be the same distance from your primary listening area. If not, you can set Channel Delays for your center and surround speakers so all audio signals arrive at the same time.

1 Open “Speaker Setup”

During playback of a DVD with 5.1 channel sound, press VOL. SETUP on the remote control.

2 Select Channel Delays

Use the UP/DOWN or LEFT/RIGHT buttons to highlight the center channel delay (to the right of the Center Speaker icon) or surround channel delay indicator (bottom center) , then press

ENTER.

3 Set Center Channel Delay

Use the UP/DOWN button to set the center channel delay from 0-5ms, in 1ms increments, then press ENTER.

4 Set Surround Channel Delay

Use the UP/DOWN button to set the surround channel delay from 0-15ms, in 3ms increments (i.e., 0, 3, 6, 9....15ms), then press ENTER.

NOTE:

The VOL. SETUP key is not active during STOP or while playing a CD or VCD. To set channel delays in these modes, follow the steps on page 37 to access the Speaker Setup menu.

Calculating Channel Delays

1 Measure the distance from your primary listening area to your front speakers; e.g. 10 feet. Use this as your reference distance.

2 Now measure the distance from the primary listening area to your center speaker; e.g. 7 feet.

3 Calculate the difference; e.g. 10 feet minus 7 feet = 3 feet.

4 Assume 1 ms of delay for each 1 foot of dis- tance, e.g. set the Center delay to 3ms.

5 Repeat steps 2-4 for the surround speakers; e.g. 10 feet minus 4 feet = 6 feet, or 6 ms delay.

Note: If the center or surround distance is equal to or greater than the reference distance, set the delay to 0 ms.
