Delay time
(This parameter is effective on only center/rear channels
of DVD-Video discs recorded in Dolby Digital format.)
To obtain maximum effect from a Dolby Digital 5.1 chan-
nel source, all speakers (except the subwoofer) should be
located the same distance from the listening position.
However, the center speaker is often placed in line with
the front speakers. You can virtually increase the distance
of the center and rear speakers by adjusting the delay time.
