•This adjustment is also possible with the LEVEL CONTROL key of the main unit.

What is delay time?

The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor, ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The delay time is the difference in time between the direct sound and indirect sounds.

•The input selector does not change the first time you press the VIDEO key.

How to calculate the proper delay time

Assuming that the distance from the front speaker is A meters and the distance from the surround speakers is B meters

1Use the delay time calculation chart on the right. Example: When A = 3 m, B = 3 m, the delay time is 20 ms.

2Use the following formula for calculation. Delay time = 20 + 3 x (A - B) (Unit: ms)
