Surround Sound Set Up

Channel Delay

Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve a 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, the receiver calculates the correct delay times automatically. If continuing from SPEAKER SETTING go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound” (p.24) first.
