Polk Audio 2 instruction manual Setting Dolby Pro Logic Delay

1.Play a Dolby Digital source and push the DELAY button on the remote control. This menu will appear on your TV screen:

Setting Dolby Pro Logic Delay

The channel delay function for Dolby Pro Logic exists for a somewhat different reason than for Dolby Digital. There is a different default surround delay value than that for Dolby Digital. Dolby Pro Logic does not require a center channel delay. The factory preset delay default values are Center = None and Surround = 30mS.

2. Measure the distance from your main listening position to the
center speaker in feet (Fig. 6).
3.	Measure the distance from your main listening position to the front
speakers in feet (Fig. 6).
4.	Subtract the center distance (B) from the front speaker distance (A).
In the example in Fig. 6, that would be 20 - 18 = 2.
5.	Use the ▲ up and ▼ down arrow keys on the remote to move the
arrow shaped cursor on the menu to CENTER.
