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
2.Press the SELECT
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 Up or Down directional
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.
