Changing The Delay Time Of The Speakers - Panasonic SC-HT855 Operation Manual

Changing the delay time of the speakers

(Effective when playing multi-channel audio)
(Center and surround speakers only)
For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the
speakers, except for the subwoofer, should be the same
distance from the seating position.
If you have to place the center or surround speakers
closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to
make up for the difference.
