3 SP DLY TIME (speaker delay
time)
Use this feature to adjust the delay of the center channel
sounds. This feature works when there is sound output
from the center speaker, with a source like Dolby Digital
or DTS, etc. Ideally, the center speaker should be the
same distance from the main listening position as the left
and right speakers. However, in most home situations, the
center speaker is placed in line with the main speakers.
By delaying the sound from the center speaker, the
apparent distance from the center speaker to the main
listening position can be adjusted to make it seem the
same as the distance between the main left and right
speaker to the listening position. Adjusting the delay time
for the center speaker is especially important for giving
depth to the dialogue.

CENTER .......................... 0 to 5 ms
