Setting the Delay Time
Often in multi-channel systems it is not pos-
sible to locate all the speakers at an equal dis-
to select the speaker to be set
tance from the listener. The Delay Time set-
ting of the RDV-1050 can compensate for the
differences in the distance from the front (left,
right) speakers, the center speaker and the sur-
round speakers to the listener.
NOTE: This setting can only compensate
for differences in speaker distance when
to select the size and press
the front speakers (left, right) are farther
from the listener than the other speakers.
Check the difference in the distance from the
listener to the front speakers (left, right) and
the speakers, and then set that value as de-
scribed in the procedure below.

bers include the number "1". The European
version can play DVD discs whose region codes
include the number "2". The region code for
