Delay time (b)
[DVD-V] (Dolby Digital, center and surround speakers only)
For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for
the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating 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 speak-
ers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speakers), 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.

1. Use [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay time box and press [ENTER].
