Setting the Speakers for the DSP Modes
To obtain the best possible surround sound of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes (see page 18), you have to register the information about the speakers arrangement after all connections are completed.
Before you start, remember...
•There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.
Center Delay Time Setting
Register the delay time of the sound from the center speaker, comparing that of the sound from the front speakers.
If the distance from your listening point to the center speaker is equal to that to the front speakers, select 0 msec. As the distance to the center speaker becomes shorter, increase the delay time.
•1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) decrease (or increase) in distance.
•When shipped from the factory, delay time is set to 0 msec.
Front, Center, and Rear Speaker Setting
Register the sizes of all the connected speakers.
On the front panel ONLY:

Rear Delay Time Setting
Register the delay time of the sound from the rear speakers, comparing that of the sound from the front speakers.
If the distance from your listening point to the rear speakers is equal to that to the front speakers, select 0 msec. As the distance to the rear speakers becomes shorter, increase the delay time.
•1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) decrease (or increase) in distance.
