DELAY TIME AND SPEAKER OUTPUT LEVELS

When using the digital sound field processor with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder or Dolby Digital decoder, you can adjust the delay time between the main sound and sound effect, and each speaker’s output level as you wish.

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. The delay time can be individually adjusted to all DSP programs.

Notes

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

•The sound is momentarily interrupted while adjusting the delay time.

Sound 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 it has already been adjusted in “ADJUSTING THE SPEAKER BALANCE” on pages 17 and 18.

Notes

•The sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted when the input signal is analog, PCM audio, or encoded with Dolby Digital in 2-channel.

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

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