(Continued)
The best sound will be achieved by placing the front speak-
ers, center speaker and surround speakers at the same dis-
tance from the listener.
When some of the speakers are at a different distance from
the listener, you can select a speaker delay to make it seem
as though the speaker distances are the same.
(Factory-shipped settings: CENTER 0 ms, SURROUND
5 ms)
If the settings need to be changed due to the type of sound
source being played or the conditions in the room, change
them as follows.
1Press the MENU button repeatedly to make "SP DELAY"
appear.
2Within 10 seconds, press the ITEM button to select
"CENT-SP" or "SURR-SP".
CENT-SP: To delay the sound from the center speaker
SURR-SP: To delay the sound from the surround
speakers
The selected speaker indicator(s) will flash.
3Within 10 seconds, press the SET UP ( or ) button
to select a value.
Adjustable range
CENTER: 0 ms - 5 ms
SURROUND: 0 ms - 15 ms
(When the DIGITAL indicator is lit)
15 ms - 30 ms
(When the DIGITAL indicator is not lit)
(Can be changed in 1 ms steps.)
Notes:
As a guide for setting the correct delay time, 1 ms is
equal to approximately 12" (30 cm) from where the se-
lected speakers are placed further away from the listener
than the typical location.
If the delay time for the surround speakers is set to a
large value, a large sound space will be created. If it is
set to a small value, the sound space will be small and
intimate.
