• The delay time can be adjusted in the range from 15 ms to 30 ms, in 5
ms steps.
• This adjustment is also possible with the LEVEL CONTROL key of the
main unit.
What is delay time?
The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the
sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor,
ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel
longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The
delay time is the difference in time between the direct sound and
indirect sounds.
• The input selector does not change the first time you press the VIDEO
key.
1 Use the delay time calculation chart on the right.
Example: When A = 3 m, B = 3 m, the delay time is 20 ms.
2 Use the following formula for calculation.
Delay time = 20 + 3 x (A - B) (Unit: ms)
