SET MENU

12 SP DELAY TIME

Use this feature to adjust the delay of the Center and the Rear Center channel sounds. This feature works when this unit decodes DTS or Dolby Digital signals. Ideally, the Center speaker and the Rear Center speaker should be the same distance from the main listening position as the left and right Main speakers. However, in most home situations, the Center speaker or the Rear Center speaker is placed in line with the Main speakers or the Rear speakers. By delaying the sound from the Center speaker and the Rear Center speaker, the apparent distance from the Center speaker and the Rear Center speaker to the main listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the same as the distance between the left and right Main speaker, and the left and right Rear speakers to the listening position. Adjusting the delay time for the Center speaker is especially important for giving depth to the dialogue.

Control range: 0 to 5 ms for CENTER

0 to 30 ms for REAR CENTER

Initial setting: 0 ms for CENTER

3 ms for REAR CENTER

Press –/+ to increase or decrease the delay of the center and the rear center channel sounds.
