Setting The Delay Time - Denon AVR-5803 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting the delay time

• Input the distance between the listening position and the different speakers to set the delay time for the surround mode.
• The delay time can be set separately for surround speakers A and B.
• Two surround back speakers are required to use the THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes.
Set the surround back speakers so that the distance to the listening point is the same for both the left and right speakers.
It is also recommended that the deviations of the distance from the listening position to L and R channel speakers (front left (FL) and front right
(FR), surround left (SL) and surround right (SR), surround back left (SBL) and surround back right (SBR)) is less than 2 ft (60 cm).
Preparations:
Measure the distances between the listening position and the speakers (L1 to L6 on the diagram at
the right).
L1: Distance between center speaker and listening position
L2: Distance between front speakers and listening position
L3: Distance between surround speakers and listening position
L4: Distance between surround back speakers and listening position
L5: Distance between subwoofer and listening position
L6: Distance between surround back L and surround back R
