3. Subtract the distance to the rear/sur-
round speakers from the distance to the
front speakers and add 15. The resulting
number is the ideal delay time for your
room. For example, if the front speakers
are 10 feet away and the surround speak-
ers are 5 feet away, the formula will be
"10-5+15=20". Thus, the correct delay
time in this room would be 20 ms.
Note that the delay time for the Dolby
ProLogic Mode is adjusted in 2 ms incre-
ments from 16 ms. to 30 ms. The delay
setting for the Theater and Stadium
modes is adjusted in 8 ms increments
from 8ms to 96 ms.
