12 SP DELAY TIME

Use this feature to adjust the delay of the Center and the
Rear Center channel sounds. This feature works when this
unit decodes DTS or Dolby Digital signals. Ideally, the
Center speaker and the Rear Center speaker should be the
same distance from the main listening position as the left
and right Main speakers. However, in most home
situations, the Center speaker or the Rear Center speaker
is placed in line with the Main speakers or the Rear
speakers. By delaying the sound from the Center speaker
and the Rear Center speaker, the apparent distance from
the Center speaker and the Rear Center speaker to the
main listening position can be adjusted to make it seem
the same as the distance between the left and right Main
speaker, and the left and right Rear speakers to the
listening position. Adjusting the delay time for the Center
speaker is especially important for giving depth to the
dialogue.
Control range: 0 to 5 ms for CENTER
0 to 30 ms for REAR CENTER
Initial setting: 0 ms for CENTER
3 ms for REAR CENTER
Press j / i to increase or decrease the delay
of the center and the rear center channel
sounds.

• Increasing the delay by 1 ms simulates moving the speakers
about 30 cm (one foot) farther away from the listening position.
