Setting The Speaker Distance Delays

Setting the speaker delay is crucial to the proper performance of any surround decoder component like the Model 950. 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 posi- tion.

To set the speaker distance delays for your speakers:

1.Press the MENU button to enter the Main Menu.

The Main Menu appears on the Front Panel Display and the OSD. The

cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the Input Configuration menu and INPUT CONFIG appears on the Front Panel Display.

The cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the System Configuration menu and SYSTEM CONFIG appears on the Front Panel Display.

3.Press SELECT to enter the System Configuration menu.

The System Configuration menu appears on the Front Panel Display and the OSD (see figure 4). The selected menu item should be FRONT DISTANCE.

Before setting the speaker distances, you need to choose what unit of distance you will be using.

4.Press the button repeatedly until the Distance Unit menu is selected.

5.Use the < and > buttons to select between Feet and Meters.

6.Press the 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, as precisely as possible, 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.

You can scroll in either direction using the < and > buttons.

7.Press the button when you have made a selection.

Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the Center and Surround speakers.

You should note your final settings above for future reference. Use the spaces below to enter the distances for your speaker setup.
