3SP DLY TIME (speaker delay time)

Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center and the rear center channel sounds. This feature works when there is sound output from the center speakers, with a source like Dolby Digital or DTS, etc. Ideally, the center speaker and the rear center speaker should be the same distance from the main listening position as the left and right speakers. However, in most home situations, the center speaker or the rear center speaker are 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 main left and right speaker, and the rear left and right speakers to the listening position. Adjusting the delay time for the center speaker is especially important for giving depth to the dialogue.

Control range:

 

CENTER ..........................

0 to 5 ms

REAR CNTR (center) ......

0 to 30 ms

Initial setting:

 

CENTER ..........................

0 ms

REAR CNTR (center) ......
