Delay time
When the center spe_Lkeror the rear speakers is(are) closer to the listener than the front speakers, the sound frolTl
the center speaker or the rear spe_Lkerscan arrive at the listener's ears earlier than the sound from the front
speakers.
In this case, the imaging is not as sharp and stable as it could be.
For audible improvement, the sound from center speaker can be delayed with the center delay time setting so that
the sound from the front and the center speakers will be heard at the same time and the sound from the rear
speakers can be also delayed with the rear delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the rear speakers
will be heard at the same time.
The optimmn delay time will be different according to the room size and the acoustic properties. It is
recolmnended that you try several times to obtain the best effect.
. It is adjustable in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Virtual modes. (For details,
refer to "In Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Virtual mode, adjusting delay times of
the speakers" on page 18)
