to one foot. The distance of the Left and Right Front
Loudspeakers from the Listening/Viewing Area be-
come the reference for measurements, as their signals
are not delayed. If the Center and/or Surround Loud-
speakers are closer to the Listening/Viewing Area then
the Left or Right Front Loudspeakers subtract the mea-
surement to produce a difference figure. That differ-
ence figure is what is used to set the amount of Time
Delay added to that channel. The delays can be ad-
justed from 0 to 5.3 ms (in 1.3 ms increments) for the
Center Channel Speaker and 0 to 15.9 ms (in 5.3 ms
increments) for the Left and Right Surround Channel
Speakers.
In the example below, the measured distance between
the Left and Right Front Loudspeakers and the Listen-
ing/Viewing Area is 10 feet. The distance from the
Center Loudspeaker is 8 feet. The difference between
the Front Left and Right Loudspeaker and the Center
Loudspeaker is 2 feet.
Note: A Time Delay Setting of 1.3 ms is approximately 1.5
feet in distance and a settting of 5.3 ms is
approximately 6 feet in distance.
1. Use the Directional Push-buttons to highlight the
Center Channel Time Delay (ms) Icon. Refer to
figure 29.
2. Press the SELECT Push-button and arrowheads
will appear above and below the Icon of the Center
Channel Time Delay (ms) Icon. Refer to figure 30.
3. Measure the distance from the Listening/Viewing
Area to each of the Loudspeakers.
Note: A distance measurement that contains fractions
of a foot, should be rounded up or down to the
nearest whole number.
4. Press the Up๎ or Down๎ directional Push-but-
tons until the figure of 2.6 appears in the MS Icon
Window followed by the SELECT Push-button.
Refer to figure 31.
Note: The delay of 2.6 ms was entered because our
example had a measurement difference of two
feet. Enter in the correct delay setting that
corresponds to the actual system measurement.
5. In a similar manner enter in the correct delay set-
ting for the Left & Right Surround Channels in the
system.
Note: There is one setting for both Surround
Loudspeakers. If the distances for each of the
Surround Loudspeaker are different, use the
average of both distances. A table, on page 28, is
provided to record the new Loudspeaker Time
Delay Adjustments.
6. Proceed to Loudspeaker Volume Level Settings. Figure 31
