Delay - Sony SRP-X500P System Integration Manual

5-2. Delay

The SRP-X500P is equipped with a four-channel power
amplifier. By utilizing all amplifiers, you can configure a
multiple speaker system with the SRP-X500P. When you
select SYSTEM TYPE 0 to configure your audio-visual room,
a delay setting is required to compensate for the distance
between front speakers and satellite speakers. Delays can
be set on the OVERVIEW screen of the supplied SRP-X500P
Manager software.
I Setting
1. Measure the distance between the main speakers and
the satellite speakers (e.g. 10 m).
2. Select meters or feet from the drop-down list in the
UNIT setup box. Then input the value in the SP3 and
SP4 DELAY boxes.
3. By setting the delay parameter a little longer than the
actual measurement, you can get more natural audio
from front speakers. Select ms from the drop-down
list in the UNIT setup box. Then add 10 to 20 ms to
the SP3 and SP4 DELAY value (e.g. 20 ms).
4. Listen to the audio. If it sounds normal, the setting
is complete.
If you find the audio from the front speakers and
satellite speakers is not unified, the delay parameter is
too great. Reduce its value gradually, and check by
listening. If sound is located at the mid-point between
the left and right satellite speakers, the delay parameter
is too small. Increase its value gradually.
