Adjusting the delay time

You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the sound effect from the rear speakers.

The larger the value, the later the sound effect is generated. This adjustment can be individually made to all programs.

Notes

•Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with some sources.

•When + or –is pressed, the sound is momentarily inter- rupted.

Adjusting the output level of the center, right rear and left rear speakers, and subwoofer

If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of each speaker even if the output level has already been set in “SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT” on pages 20 to 22.

Notes

•The output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted when the DISCO, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL program is selected, and the input signal is analog, PCM audio, or encoded with Dolby Digital in 2-channel.

•If the function “CNTR” in the SET MENU mode is set to the NONE position, the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because, in this mode, the center speaker sound is automatically output from the left and right main speakers.

•Once the output level has been adjusted, the level will be the same for all digital sound field programs.

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from being lost when this unit is set in the standby mode. If, however, the power plug is disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary power failure for more than one week, the latest values for the delay time and the center/rear/subwoofer output levels that were set will automatically return to the preset values. If so, they can be re-set by simply following the adjustment method on page 31.
