Changing the delay time (Speaker Settings)

(Effective when playing multi-channel audio)

(Center and surround speakers only)

For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position. If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

C : Actual speakers position

Circle of constant primary listening distance

If either distance a or b is less than c, find the difference in the table and change to the recommended setting.
