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

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

Preset value: 0 ms

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

This adjusts the delay between the main sound (on the main channels) and dialog, etc. (on 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.
