Delay time (b)

[DVD-V](Dolby Digital, center and surround speakers only)

For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating posi- tion. If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

If distance d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speak- ers), leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.

If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the relevant table and change to the recommended setting.
