Delay Setup - Continued
The actual delay value for
each channel is equal to the
distance that is calculated by
subtracting that channel’s
distance from the primary
listening position from the
distance of the furthest
speaker to the primary
listening position.
In the example from the
previous page, the Reference
Speaker is the Left Front
speaker and this speaker will
not be delayed (0.0 ms). The
Center speaker’s delay will be
set to 5 ms, the Front Right
speaker will be set to 2 ms,
the Subwoofer will be set to 7
ms, the Left Surround speaker
will be set to 9 ms, and the
Right Surround Speaker will
be set to 10 ms. Note that
these delay settings are equal
to the distances in feet.
Note: If you are in a non-5.1
mode, you will have to add 15
to each delay setting.
You can use the diagram below to insert the distances you measured for your theater.

If you wish to use the figures directly from the chart above
without adding 15 to each number, turn the MODE knob
to read an AC-3 mode and then press the knob. If the
input you are on is set to auto-mode on and you are not
playing a 5.1 encoded software segment, the Cinema
Reference will not permit you to engage a 5.1 mode. ADA
suggests selecting another input and manually engaging
AC-3 for this step.
6
Turn the MODE knob clockwise until the display reads SETUP
MODE and then press the MODE knob.
7
Turn the MODE knob clockwise to until the display reads the
word DELAY followed by the first channel you wish to
adjust, and then press the MODE knob to engage that
channel. The top row of the display will read the channel
name and the bottom row will read its current delay set-
ting in MS (milliseconds).
8
Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the desired de-
lay level and then press the MODE knob to engage that
delay. The difference (measured in feet) of the farthest
speaker from the selected speaker is also the same value
in milliseconds.
9
Turn the MODE knob to the next channel who’s delay you
wish to adjust and press the MODE knob.
10 Repeat steps 7 & 8 for all channels that require delay adjust-
ment.

When you have completed adjusting the delay for all chan-
nels, turn the INPUT knob to exit the Setup Mode.
