Using Surround Sound

Adjusting the delay time

You can make the surround sound more effective by delaying the output from the rear speakers (delay time). You can select from three delay times, S (15 mS), M (20 mS), and L (30 mS). For example, if you’ve placed the rear speakers in a large room or apart from your listening position, set the delay time shorter.
