Dolby Laboratories DP564 5.2 Speaker Delay Values

DP564 Multichannel Audio Decoder Listening Room Calibration

5-2

80 Hz, but if any of those speakers is particularly small, choose the highest

frequency, 120 Hz. This setting not only produces better response from your

system, but also protects small speakers from damage. In a system that includes a

subwoofer, with all speakers set to Large, the crossover value is not applied.

Back Surround Speakers

Two Surround speakers (Ls, Rs) are used in standard 5.1-channel monitoring systems

(setting: None). To monitor a Dolby® Digital Surround EX™ program, a Back

Surround speaker is required. You can use either a single Back Surround speaker

(setting: One), or two speakers for the Back Surround channel (setting: Two). Back

Surround Speaker settings are reflected in the output level meter display and

the Monitor Status menu.

If you use a single Back Surround speaker, use the Bsl connector on the rear panel,

and leave the Bsr connector unused. If you use two speakers for the Back Surround

channel, use both the Bsl and Bsr connectors.

When listening to a 5.1-channel program without Surround EX decoding, and the

monitoring environment has two Back Surround speakers, the Bsl output will be the

same as the Ls output, and the Bsr output will be the same as the Rs output.

5.2 Speaker Delay Values

Adjusting speaker delay values is an essential step in configuring your system.

Because Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround Pro Logic® process signals differently,

different calculations must be used to determine accurate delay settings. Speaker

delay values for Dolby Digital are calculated so that signals from all speakers arrive

at the reference listening position at the same time (coincident arrival).

To calculate the delay settings, measure and record the distance from the reference

listening position to each of the seven speakers:

• Left (L)

• Center (C)

• Right (R)

• Left Surround (Ls)

• Right Surround (Rs)

• Back Surround Left (Bsl)

• Right Surround Right (Bsr)

Make all of these measurements in feet. (If measuring in meters, then multiply the

metric measurements by three to get the approximate distance in feet.)
