Setting the delay time
“Delay time” is set according to the distance from the Center and Surround Speakers to the listening position.
• In the DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode
Set the proper delay time for your listening position and speaker placement.
Measure the distance from your listening position to the Center speaker (L1) and to the Surround speakers (L2). Then, choose the correct delay time in the table below according to the difference between L1 and L2.
Ex.
Assume, in the figure on the left, that the distance from the Center speaker to your listening position (L1) is 2 meters and the distance from the Surround speakers to your listening position (L2) is 3.5 meters. Since the difference between L1 and L2 is 1.5 meters, the table indicates that the correct delay time is 20 ms.
• In the HALL, LIVE, or ARENA mode
Set the delay time according to your taste while listening to the sound. The possible delay time settings are 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 or 60 ms.
