Chapter 3 - Setup

Delay Configuration

How far is each speaker from your primary listening area? The GTP-870HD uses this information to cal- culate differences in distance and adds milliseconds of delay if necessary to ensure that all audio signals reach your ears simultaneously from all speakers. The following is an overview of the Delay Configura- tion menu.

To access the Delay Configuration menu:

1Press the Main button on the remote control.

2 Press the Setup button.

3 Use the /buttons to select DELAY CONFIG, then press the Select button.

4 Use the /buttons to choose from the follow- ing menu items:

FRONT

Sets the distance from your front speakers to your primary listening area in feet or meters (see Delay Unit below). Measure this distance, then use the /buttons to select:

•0-20 feet (0-6.1 meters)

•The front distance is the benchmark setting for all other speakers, so measure this distance care- fully.

CENTER

Sets the distance from your center speaker to your primary listening area in feet or meters (see Delay Unit below). Measure this distance, then use the /buttons to select:

•0-20 feet (0-6.1 meters)

•The center speaker is often closer to the primary listening area than the front speakers. If so, the GTP-870HD calculates the difference in distance and adds delay accordingly.

SURROUND

Sets the distance from your surround speakers to your primary listening area in feet or meters (see Delay Unit below). Measure this distance, then use the /buttons to select:

•0-20 feet (0-6.1 meters)

•The surround speakers are often closer to the primary listening area than the front speakers. If so, the GTP-870HD calculates the difference in distance and adds delay accordingly.

SURR BACK

Sets the distance from your surround speakers to your primary listening area in feet or meters (see Delay Unit below). Measure this distance, then use the /buttons to select:

•0-20 feet (0-6.1 meters)

•The surround back speakers are often closer to the primary listening area than the front speak- ers. If so, the GTP-870HD calculates the differ- ence in distance and adds delay accordingly.

SUBWOOFER

Sets the distance from your subwoofer to your pri- mary listening area in feet or meters (see Delay Unit below). Measure this distance, then use the /buttons to select:

•0-20 feet (0-6.1 meters)

•The subwoofer is often closer to the primary lis- tening area than the front speakers. If so, the GTP-870HD calculates the difference in distance and adds delay accordingly.

DELAY UNIT

Sets the unit of measurement for channel delays. Use the /buttons to select:

•Feet or Meters.
