Delay time:

If the surround speakers or the center speaker can not be installed at an equal distance to the front speakers from the listening position, change the delay time to get better surround effect.

ÁWhen D2 or D3 is equal to or larger than D1, no setting is necessary. Otherwise, change the setting according to the table below.
