In the surround modes, the sound from the rear speakers should be delayed slightly, relative to that from the front speakers. The optimum delay time will depend on acoustic properties, whether the walls and furnishings reflect or absorb sound, etc.
It is recommended that you try different delay times to obtain the best effect. The delay is digitally synthesized, for the highest sound quality with minimum noise and distortion. The delay time can be set independently for each surround mode using the DELAY TIME buttons, with the current setting shown in the display.
