Setting Up for Surround Sound
CHANNEL DELAY
Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an effective surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your speakers to add the proper delay. The following steps show you how to set the delay time for each channel by specifying the distances from your listening position to each speaker. Once you specify the speaker distances (or it is done automatically through the AUTO selection, or in the Quick Start Guide), the amplifier calculates the correct delay times automatically. If continuing from SPEAKER SYSTEMS go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps
1 | 1 The CHANNEL DELAY should be |
STANDBY/O | selected. If it isn’t use the 5∞ buttons |
ENTER | to select it. Press the ENTER button. |
| The setup possibilities appear on your TV |

2There are two ways to set the CHANNEL DELAY, MANUAL and AUTO. Select the method you’d like to use with the 5∞ buttons and press
ENTER.
MANUAL: In this way of setting the distance you choose the speaker and adjust the distance yourself.
AUTO: This way of setting the delay time is like that described in the Quick Start Guide
WARNING : Be prepared! The test tones are output at a high volume level.
MASTER VOLUME rotates to the reference position (0 dB) and the display on the amplifier flashes TEST TONE. After a few seconds the test tone is output.
3For MANUAL, Select each speaker with the 5∞ buttons. Use the 2 3 buttons to add or subtract the distance in meters that the speaker is from your normal listening position. For AUTO
you don’t need to do anything
Adjust the speaker distance in 0.1 increments from 0.1 to 15 meters.
The default setting is 2 m.
