Delay time (b)
[DVD-V] (Dolby Digital, center and surround speakers only)
For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, ex-
cept for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seat-
ing position. If you have to place the center or surround speakers
closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for
the difference.
If distance d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround
speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speak-
ers), leave the delay time as 0, the factory preset.
If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the
relevant table and change to the recommended setting.
