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.
Front, Center, and Rear Speaker Setting
Register the sizes of all the connected speakers.
•When you change your speakers, you need to register the information about the speakers again.
Center Delay Time Setting
Register the delay time of the sound from the center speaker, comparing to 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, the delay time increases .
•1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to 30 cm decrease (or increase) in distance.
•When shipped from the factory, delay time is set to 0 msec.

2.Press CONTROL UP 5/DOWN ° to select the delay time of the center speaker output.
•Pressing CONTROL UP5 increases the delay time from 0 msec (“C_DELAY 0MS”) to 5 msec (“C_DELAY 5MS”).
•Pressing CONTROL DOWN ° decreases the delay time from 5 msec (“C_DELAY 5MS”) to 0 msec (“C_DELAY 0MS”).
CONTROL
DOWN UP
to select the appropriate item about the speaker selected in the above step.
•Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following:
LARGE
SMALL 
NO
LARGE: Select this when the speaker size is relatively large.
SMALL: Select this when the speaker size is relatively small.
NO: Select this when you have not connected a speaker. (Not selectable for the front speakers)
3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 to select the appropriate items for the other speakers.
Notes:
•Keep the following comment in mind as reference when adjusting.
–If the size of the cone speaker unit built in your speaker is greater than 12 cm, select “LARGE,” and if it is smaller than 12 cm, select “SMALL.”
•If you have selected “NO” for the subwoofer setting, you can only select “LARGE” for the front speaker setting.
•If you have selected “SMALL” for the front speaker setting, you cannot select “LARGE” for the center and rear speaker settings.
Note:
You cannot adjust the center delay time when you have set “CENTER SPK” to “NO.”
Rear Delay Time Setting
Register the delay time of the sound from the rear speakers, comparing to 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, the delay time increases.
•1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to 30 cm decrease (or increase) in distance.
•Rear delay time for Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround is to be set to 5 msec.
•When shipped from the factory, delay time is set to 5 msec.

•Pressing CONTROL UP5 increases the delay time from 0 msec (“R_DELAY 0MS”) to 15 msec (“R_DELAY 15MS”).
•Pressing CONTROL DOWN ° decreases the delay time from 15 msec (“R_DELAY 15MS”) to 0 msec (“R_DELAY 0MS”).
Note:
You cannot adjust the rear delay time when you have set “REAR SPK” to “NO.”
