Amplifier Setup (Continued)

Setting Delays

In Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic mode, it is

assumed that the distance from the listener to each of

the five speakers is equal. If your center and rear

speakers are closer than the front speakers, you can

set delays so that sound from these speakers will be

heard simultaneously at your primary listening position.

In Dolby Digital mode

Center delay time : 0ms

Rear delay time: 5ms

In Dolby Pro Logic mode

Center delay time : cannot be set

Rear delay time : 0-15ms

If the rear delay time is set in Dolby Digital mode, the

delay time will be automatically set in Dolby Pro Logic

mode .

The delay time is approximately 1 msec per foot.

If the center and rear speakers are further than the front

speakers from the listener, the delay time should be set

to the minimum.

Surround delay time setting

If the distance from your rear speakers to the listener is

the same or greater than your front speakers, set the

Surround Delay Time to 0ms. Otherwise, change the

setting according to the calculation below.

For example, if the distance from the front speakers to

the listener is 10 feet and from the rear speakers to the

listener is 5 feet, the rear delay time would be 5 msec.

10 feet - 5 feet = 5 feet, or 5msec

In Dolby Pro Logic II (Surround delay time):

PROLOGIC: 10 - 25msec

MOVIE: 10 - 25msec

MUSIC: 0 - 15msec

VIRTUAL: cannot be set

MATRIX: 0 - 15msec

Center delay time setting (Dolby Digital mode only)

If the distance from your center speaker to the listener

is the same or greater than your front speakers, set the

Center Delay Time to 0ms. Otherwise, change the set-

ting according to the calculation below.

For example, if the distance from the front speakers to

the listener is 10 feet and from the center speaker to

the listener is 8 feet, the center delay time is 2msec.

10 feet - 8 feet = 2 feet, or 2msec

Setting the delay time in the Dolby

Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II mode

Press DELAY.

The current surround delay time appears on the

front panel display.

You can select center delay time by pressing b/Bin

the Dolby Digital mode only.

Press vv/VVto change the delay time.

If setting is complete, press DELAY.

You can adjust the center delay time only in the Dolby Digital

mode when its delay time appears.

Center Width (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)

This control allows center-channel sounds to be posi-

tioned between the center speaker and the left/right

speakers over a range of eight steps. Step “3” uses a

combination of all three front speakers to give the best

vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presen-

tation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step

“0” places all center sound in the center speaker. Step

“7” places all center sound equally in the left/right

speakers, just as in conventional stereo.

DIMENSE (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)

This control allows the user to gradually adjust the

sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can

be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all

the speakers with certain recordings that may contain

either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the

recommended setting, which has no effect on the

sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound for-

ward, and steps -1, -2, and -3 move the sound towards

the surrounds.

PANORAMA(MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only)

This control extends the front stereo image to include

the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound”

effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective

for recordings which have strong left- or right-channel

elements in the mix, as these are detected and accen-

tuated by the Panorama process.
