DD-5.1 Operation – Delay Calibration
The ideal listening position is defined as below:
Center channel speaker should be placed in a position that has an equal distance as
l
the left and right speakers to listener.
Surround left and surround right speakers should be placed on the backside of
l
listener and above listener's ear level.
If speaker placement is restricted due to the physical environment of the room, delay
l
calibration is sometimes necessary to achieve the ideal listening environment.
In case center speaker only can be placed in a position that has a closer distance to
l
listener than that of left and right speakers. The sound from the center speaker might
arrive to the listener before the left and right speakers. The difference in sound arrival
time would ruin the sound quality and effect, even the best DVD titles. Fortunately
DD-5.1 allows you to adjust the center speaker time delay to compensate this
problem by increasing the delay time for the center channel. Thus sound from the
center, left and right speakers reach the listener at the same time. If your center
speaker is closer to the listening area than the left and right speakers. Press DELAY
Button repeatedly until the Center channel is reached. To increase or decrease the
delay time, press D TIME + or D TIME - until a desire distance is matched. Same
procedures can be applied for adjusting the delay time of surround speakers if
necessary.
