Delay Delay

Adjusting the sound

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your DAP-601ES enables you to fine tune different aspects of the sound to match your listening environment, the type of

 

 

 

source you are using and your own personal listening preferences.

 

 

 

Setting speaker delay

 

 

 

The Delay function enables you to set a delay for rear and centre speakers to enable you to finely tune your setup to take into

 

 

 

account your speaker positioning and the acoustics of your room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The recommended listening position is described below and shown opposite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ideally the centre channel speaker should be placed the same distance as the left and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

right speakers from your listening position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rear left and right speakers should be placed behind your listening position and above

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ear level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If, for example, the centre speaker can only be placed nearer to you than the left and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

right speakers, sound from the centre speaker will arrive before the sound from the left

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and right speakers. The difference in arrival time may affect the sound quality. The delay

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

function enables you to adjust the speaker delay to compensate for this problem by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

increasing the delay time for the centre channel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To adjust delay, press Delay repeatedly until the required channel is selected then

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

press Delay +/- until the desired delay is shown on the bottom line of the display. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

delay range for rear speakers is 0 to 15 ms and 0 to 5 ms for centre.

Applying acoustic effects

Your DAP-601ES is equipped with a sound field processor that provides five different preset acoustic effects designed to alter the sound to simulate playback in different types of building: Hall, Theatre, Stadium, Club, and Church. Note that these acoustic effects can only be applied to stereo sources when Pro Logic II is switched off. Push the Acoustics button to display the current setting. Push it again and repeat to select any of these effects or the Disable setting, which removes any acoustic effects.

You can also increase or decrease the reverb value from 0-9 by pressing Volume +/- on the remote control whilst you are selecting the acoustic effect.

Adjusting the frequency equalisation

Your DAP-601ES features a 5-band equalizer which enables you to fine tune the sound of your favourite movie or music. Note that these frequency settings are only available when Pro Logic II is switched off.

Press EQ setup and repeat to switch between the 5 bands (125 Hz, 370 Hz, 1250 Hz, 3700 Hz and 10500 Hz).

Each band of the equalizer enables you to adjust your desired volume to a maximum of +/-10 dB by pressing Volume +/-. Press EQ on/off to switch the new EQ settings on or off. The bottom line of the display shows EQ when the EQ settings are on.
