JVC RX-888VBK manual Setting the Speakers for the DSP Modes, Center Delay Time Setting

Setting the Speakers for the DSP Modes

To obtain the best possible surround sound of the DSP modes, you have to register the information about the speakers arrangement after all connections are completed.

Before you start, remember....

•There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

Center Delay Time Setting

Register the delay time of the sound from the center speaker, comparing that of the sound from the front speakers.

If the distance from your listening point to the center speaker is equal to that to the front speakers, select 0 msec. As the distance to the center speaker becomes shorter, increase the delay time.

•1 msec increase (or decrease) in delay time corresponds to 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) decrease (or increase) in distance.

•When shipped from the factory, delay time is set to 0 msec.

Front, Center, and Rear Speaker Setting

Register the sizes of all the connected speakers.

•When you change your speakers, you need to register the information about the speakers again.
