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 receiver calculates the correct delay times automatically. If continuing from SPEAKER SYSTEMS go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.35) first.

AUTO : This way of setting the delay time is like that described in the Quick Start Guide (p.13–15). The levels are set automatically by the receiver as it outputs the test tones. For this setup you must have the mic on the remote control connected (see page 13).

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 receiver 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 feet that the speaker is from your normal

listening position.

Adjust the speaker distance in half foot increments from

0.5to 45 feet (1 foot equals approximately 0.3 meters). The default setting is 10 ft.

4When done select RETURN with the

5∞ buttons and press ENTER.

Next, proceed to CHANNEL LEVEL below .

If you want to change a setting before proceeding Start over from step 1.

memo If you have two surround back speakers you can put them together, set them to the same distance and then use them get the benefit of ASA technology (see p.97, 101, 103).
