Adjusting delay time

You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the effect sound from the rear or front effect speakers.

The larger the value, the later the effect sound is generated. This adjustment can be made to all programs individually.

Notes

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

When the –/+ button is pressed, sound is momentarily interrupted.

Adjusting output level of the center, right rear and left rear speakers, and subwoofer

If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the each speaker even if the output level is already set in “SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT” on pages 24 to 25.

Notes

Output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted when the program STADIUM, DISCO, ROCK CONCERT, JAZZ CLUB, CHURCH or CONCERT HALL is selected, and the input signal is analog, PCM audio or encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) in 2-channels.

If the function “4. CENTER SPEAKER” in the SET MENU mode is set in the “PHNTM (phantom)” position, the sound output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. This is because in this mode, the center sound is automatically output from the left and right main speakers.

Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the same in all the digital sound field programs.

Note

The values of the delay time, center level, rear level and subwoofer output level you set the last time will remain memorized even when this unit is in the standby mode. However, if the power cord is kept disconnected for more than one week, these values will be automatically changed back to the original factory settings.
