Example of Steps 2 and 3 Setting

(1)After entering corrections for the front (left and right) speakers in STEP 15, the time difference is 1.5 ms for both front-left and front-right speakers.

Tips

*Subwoofer speaker.

Delay (turn the rotary encoder) the audio signal to the front (left and right) speakers to make the apparent position of the subwoofer to be at the front. In doing this, the apparent position between the front (left and right) speakers and subwoofer will appear equal to the driver. After performing above, you can change the positions of left and right speakers by delaying the time .

1.5ms1.5ms

(2)After entering corrections for the left (front and rear) speakers in STEP 15, the time difference becomes 3.0 ms* for the front left speaker and 1.5 ms for the left rear speaker.

*Because the time difference was already set to 1.5 ms for the front left speaker in STEP 1, the additional correction in STEP 15 makes the time difference of the front left speaker 3.0 ms.
