Polk Audio RMDS-1 instruction manual Setting Dolby Pro Logic Delay

Page 21

1.Play a Dolby Digital source and push the DELAY button on the remote control. This menu will appear on your TV screen:

Setting Dolby Pro Logic Delay

The channel delay function for Dolby Pro Logic exists for a somewhat different reason than for Dolby Digital. There is a different default surround delay value than that for Dolby Digital. Dolby Pro Logic does not require a center channel delay. The factory preset delay default values are Center = None and Surround = 30mS.

2. Measure the distance from your main listening position to the cen-

ter speaker in feet (Fig. 1).

3.

Measure the distance from your main listening position to the front

speakers in feet (Fig. 1).

4.

Subtract the center distance (B) from the front speaker distance (A).

In the example in Figure 1, that would be 20 - 18 = 2.

5.

Use the up and down arrow keys on the remote to move the

arrow shaped cursor on the menu to CENTER.

6. Use the g left and h right arrow keys to select the correct center

delay time. For every 1 foot of difference, select 1 mS of center delay.

The range of choices are 0,1,2,3,4, and 5 mS. In this example you

would select 2mS. (20 - 18 = 2).

7.Use the down arrow key on the remote to move the arrow shaped cursor on the menu screen to SURROUND.

8.Measure the distance from your main listening position to the surround speakers in feet (Fig. 1). Subtract the surround distance (C) from the front distance (A). In the example in Fig. 1, that would be 20 - 10 = 10.

9.Use the chart to determine the correct surround delay. For every 1 foot of difference, select 1 mS of center delay. In this example, the correct surround delay is 10mS.
