Center Delay Setting
Used to set the delay time that is used for the CENTER channel. This
setting is adjustable from 0 to 5 mS (milliseconds) in one millisecond
increments. This setting is useful if your PT8051 main unit cannot be
positioned near the TV. As a general rule one foot (30cm) is equal to a
delay of approximately 1mS. Therefore if your PT8051 main unit was
one foot from the screen you would set the CENTER delay for 1mS. It
can also be adjusted so that the sound coming from the PT8051 is
synchronized with the video image. The default setting is CENTER
DELAY TURNED OFF.

Rear Delay Setting
Used to set the delay time that is used for the REAR (surround)
channel. This setting is adjustable from 0 to 15mS (milliseconds) in
three millisecond increments. This setting is used to accurately
reproduce the surround information that is encoded on certain DVDs
as the producer intended by allowing you to tailor the sound to your
listening room size. In this case you would set the delay as follows;
The delay in milliseconds for the rear (surround) speaker setting is
equal to the number of feet closer that speaker is to your listening
position than the main unit.
For an example, let's assume the main unit is 15 ft away from the main
listening position and the rear (surround) unit is 5 feet away.
Surround's Delay = 15ft – 5ft = 10ft = 10mS of delay
In this case you would select 9 mS from the menu as it is closest to
10 mS.
The idea is to have the sound from the main and rear units reach your
ears at the same time, in relation to the signal being sent to those
speakers. For the speakers that are close to you, a delay has to be added
so that their sound reaches your ears at the same time as the speakers
