Fine Setting of the Speakers

All the basic settings have already been presetted for the
speakers included in the box.
However, to make the surround sound more effective and
suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room, you may
need to delay the signal coming from some of the speak-
ers. Channel delay compensates for center or surround
speakers that are closer to the listening position than the
front speakers.
You may setup the speakers channel by channel: first, press
the MENU button while in stop mode to enter the setup
menu, then choose SOUND for speaker setup.
