Adjustments for Other Inputs
After one input has been adjusted for analog or
digital input, speaker type and surround mode,
return to the
line on the
menu and enter the settings for each
input that you will use. In most cases, only the
digital input and surround mode may be different
from one input to the next, while the speaker type
will usually be the same (inputs set to
). But if prefered you can also select
different speaker types or turn speakers on or off
individually for each input in use.
Delay Settings
Due the different distances between the listening
position for the front channel speakers and the
surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for
sound to reach your ears from the front or sur-
round speakers is different. You may compensate
for this difference through the use of the delay
settings to adjust the timing for the specific
speaker placement and acoustic conditions in
your listening room or home theater.
To re-synchronize the front, center and surround
channels at first measure and note the distance
from the listening/viewing position to the front,
center, surround and surround back (if any)
speakers in meters.
The Delay setting for all speakers configured for
your system will be available only (with 5.1 or
with 6.1/7.1 configuration) when any Dolby sur-
round mode is selected (except Dolby-3-Stereo).
In addition they are selectable with these modes
only, with all other modes the delay times are
fixed.
Note that the Delay settings are "Global" for all
inputs, using those Dolby modes, and need not to
be repeated with any input.
To start with the delay settings at first select any

Night Mode Settings
The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that
uses special processing to preserve the dynamic
range and full intelligibility of a movie sound track
while reducing the peak level. This prevents
abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others,
without reducing the sonic impact of a digital
source. Note that the Night mode is only available
when the Dolby Digital surround mode is selected.
