When this option is selected, a "complete" feed
will be sent to the front left/right "main" speak-
ers, and the subwoofer will receive the front left
and right bass frequencies under the crossover
frequency of 80 Hz, additionally to the LFE
soundtrack (see above).

press the

and then the Set button
to return to main menu.
10. The Speaker Configuration may also be
changed at any time without using the full-OSD
on-screen menu system by pressing the
Speaker Select button on the front panel
or remote
. Once the button is pressed,

When the Set button

will read F-LARGE
or F-SMALL depending on the current set-
ting. Press the front panel

or the
buttons
on the remote

until the desired setting is shown, using the
instructions for "large" or "small" shown earlier,
then press the Set button
.
If another speaker position needs to be changed,

ting is shown and press the Set button
again to confirm the selection.
To assist in making these settings, the icons in
the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators
will change as the speaker type is selected at
each position. When only the inner icon box is lit,
the speaker is set for "small. " When the inner box
and the two outer boxes with circles inside them
are lit, the speaker is set for "large." When no
indicator appears at a speaker location, that
position is set for "none" or "no" speaker.
Note: These icons are not visible when making
setup changes through the full OSD speaker
setup menu.
As an example, in Figure 6 below, the left front
buttons
and right front speakers are set for "large, " the
center, left surround and right surround speakers
are set for small, and a subwoofer is set.

Delay Settings
Only for the Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic II
modes, you will need to adjust the delay time
setting. Note that the delay time is not
adjustable for any other mode.
Important Note: Once the delay time is set
with any input it will be effective with all other
inputs too. Moreover the surround delay time
setting must be made only for either the Dolby
buttons
/
Pro Logic II or the Dolby Digital mode. The other
setting will be set automatically.
to
Due to the different distances between the lis-
tening position for the front channel speakers
and the surround speakers, the amount of time it
takes for sound to reach your ears from the front
or surround speakers is different. You may com-
pensate for this difference through the use of the
delay settings to adjust the timing for the specific
speaker placement and acoustic conditions in
your listening room or home theater.
The factory setting is appropriate for most rooms,
but some installations create an uncommon dis-
tance between the front and surround speakers
that may cause the arrival of front channel
sounds to become disconnected from surround
channel sounds.
To resynchronize the front, center and surround
channels, follow these steps:
buttons
/
1. Measure the distance from the listening/
viewing position to the front speakers in
meters.
2. Measure the distance from the listening/
viewing position to the surround speakers.
3. Subtract the distance to the surround speakers
from the distance to the front speakers and
multiply the result by 3.
a. When setting the delay time for the Dolby
Digital surround modes, the optimal delay time
is the result of that subtraction. For example, if
the front speakers are 3 m away and the sur-
round speakers are 1 m away, the optimal
delay time is figured as (3–1)x3=6. Thus, in
this example, the delay time for Dolby Digital
should be set at six milliseconds.
C
R
SR
LFE
b. When setting the delay time for the Dolby Pro
Logic II mode, take the result of the calculation
above and add 15 to obtain the optimal delay
time. For example, if the front speakers are 3 m
away and the surround speakers are 1 m away,
the optimal delay time is figured as
(3–1)x3+15=21. Thus, in this example, the
Dolby Pro Logic II delay should be set at
twenty milliseconds.
NOTE: The DTS, Logic 7, 5CH Stereo, Hall and
Theater modes use a fixed, nonadjustable delay
time.
The Dolby Digital Mode also includes a separate
setting for the center channel delay mode, since
the discrete nature of these signals makes the
location of the center channel speaker more criti-
cal. To calculate the delay for the center channel,
measure the distance from the preferred listening
position in the center of the room to both the
center channel speaker and either the left or
right speaker.
If the distances are equal, no further adjustment
is required and the center delay should be left at
zero. If the distance to the front speakers is
greater than the distance to the center speaker,
you may wish to reposition the speakers by mov-
ing the front left and front right speakers closer to
the listening position or the center speaker further
away from the listening position.
If repositioning of the speakers is not possible,
adjust the center delay time, adding one milli-
second of center channel delay for every 30 cm
closer to the listening position the center speaker
is than the front speakers. For example, if the
front left and front right speakers are each 3 m
from the listening position and the center chan-
nel speaker is 2.4 m away, the delay is figured as
300 cm –240 cm=60 cm, suggesting an optimal
center delay of 2 milliseconds.
To set the delay time, continue within the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1). If the system
is not already at that point, press the OSD but-
ton
to bring up the master menu.To make
the delay settings for the Dolby Digital mode
(this will include the Center delay setting, and
the surround delay for the Dolby Pro Logic II
mode will be set automatically), press the Set
button and select any input now that is
associated with a digital input and the Dolby
Digital surround mode (the surround mode asso-
ciated with each input selected will be indicated
by the Surround Mode Indicators
front panel), then return to the master menu.
Press the
button
and then the Set button
to bring up the surround setup menu, now
press the
button
once.
As the Dolby Digital mode is selected, the
sor will stop at the CENTER DELAY line.
