Using Surround Sound
Adjusting the delay time (PRO LOGIC sound field only)
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.
1Start playing a program source encoded with Dolby Surround sound.
2Press SUR.
The current delay time appears in the display.
3Press +/– to select the level you prefer, such as “DELAY S”, “DELAY M” or “DELAY L”.
