3.6 Delay Configuration

Setting the speaker delay is crucial to the proper perfor- mance of any surround decoder component like the GTP-

880.Your home theater system will not perform properly if this process is not completed.

To accomplish this process you will need a tape measure or other means of determining the distance of each speaker from the primary listening position.

1.Press the menu button to enter the main menu. The main menu appears the OSD. The cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the input configuration menu.

2.Press the Manual background button until the delay configuration menu is selected.

3.Press select to enter the delay configuration menu.

5.Use the Manual background and Manual background buttons to select between feet and meters.

6.Press the Manual background button repeatedly until you return to the front distance menu. To set the distance for each group speakers in your system, you will need to measure, the distances from your chosen listening/viewing position to the various loudspeakers in your system.

Set the distance for the front L/R speakers to the nearest foot/meter. Rounding up is OK. Distances can be set in the following increments:

Feet 0 to 20 feet in 1 foot increments.

Meters 0 to 6 meters in 0.3 meter increments.
