System Configuration

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 view or change the current delay settings,

make sure the

the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the

The delay settings may also be adjusted directly

any time using the TC 30 remote control and

when they stop speaking, and notice whether

their lips move for a short duration after the dia-

ments, change the setting so that the movement
