Setting up the Speaker Delay Time

When 5.1CH Surround Sound is played, you can enjoy the best sound if the distance between you and each speaker is
the same. Since the sounds arrive at the listening position at different times depending on the placement of speakers, you
can adjust this difference by adding a delay effect to the sound of the Center Speaker and Surround Speakers.
