Channel Delay - Pioneer VSX-45TX Elite Operating Instructions Manual

CHANNEL DELAY

Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an
effective surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your
speakers to add the proper delay. The following steps show you how to set the delay time for each channel by
specifying the distances from your listening position to each speaker. Once you specify the speaker distances
(or it is done automatically in the Easy Setup Guide), the receiver calculates the correct delay times
automatically. If continuing from CHANNEL LEVEL go to step
39.
