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 is decoded and the signals of the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital 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.

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 settings of the SET MENU mode will automatically return to the factory settings. If so, they can be re-set by simply following the procedure above.
