Adjusting delay times of the speakers in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Virtual mode

In the Dolby Digital mode, the optimum performance of your system occurs when the sound from all five speakers arrives at your primary listening position at the time. If all speakers are equidistant from the main listening position, set the following delay.

Center delay time: 0 ms, Rear delay time: 0 ms

If the center speaker is closer to your prime listening position than the average distance to the left and right main speakers add 1 ms of center channel delay for each foot of difference.

The maximum is 5 ms.

If the surround speakers are closer to your main listening position than the main left and right speakers, add 5 ms of surround channel delay for each 5 feet of difference. The maximum is 15 ms.

In Dolby Pro Logic, if the surround speakers are the same distance from your primary listening position as your main left and right front speakers, set the Rear Delay time at 15 ms.

If the surround speakers are closer to your main listening position than the main left and right speakers, your receiver allows you to optimize the arrival time of the sound from your speakers. Measure the distance from the prime listening position to each of the speakers to the nearest foot.

Add 5 ms of surround channel delay for each 5 feet of difference. The maximum is 30 ms.

Check the current delay time.
