For proper sound depth and separation with your system, it is necessary to add a slight bit of delay to some speakers so that all sounds will arrive at the listening position at the same time.

Use | (cursor up/down) to adjust the delay |
of the selected speaker to match the reference speaker. The delay is measured in terms of speaker distance from 0.1 to 9.0 meters.
Listen to the reference speaker and use it to measure the target channel. From the listening position, face the two speakers with your arms outstretched pointing at each speaker. Try to make the two tones sound as if they are arriving simultaneously at a position slightly in front of you and between your arm span.
When it sounds like the delay settings are matched up, press (cursor right) to confirm and continue to the next channel.
