8.C.DELAY [Adjusting the delay of center sounds (dialog etc.)]

Control range: 0 ms to 5 ms (in 1 ms step)

Preset value: 0 ms

*This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital contain center-channel signals.

Adjusts the delay between the main sounds (at the main channels) and dialog etc. (at the center channel).

The larger the value, the later the dialog etc. is generated.

This is for making sounds from the left main, center and right main speakers reach your listening position at the same time. This is achieved by delaying the sound from the center speaker if the distance from the center speaker to your listening position is shorter than the distance from the left or right main speaker to your listening position.
