Delay Time
The delay control allows the
user to set the surround delay
between 15 and 30 milli-
seconds. The best setting will
depend on the distance
between the main listening
area and the front speakers, as
well as the distance between
the main listening area and
the rear speakers.
The chart on the right shows
the recommended settings.

For proper Dolby Pro Logic
operation, a test tone is used
to calibrate the volume set-
tings of the speakers. A noise
will be heard cycling, in order,
from the front left, center,
right and both surround
speakers.
Using the remote control, push
“Test Tone.” Then adjust the
Center and Surround levels
until the volume of all the
speakers is the same during
the test.
Note:
The test tone is used to
calibrate the performance of
the system. When listening
to an actual recording, the
volume level of the surround
channels is generally much
lower than that of the front
channels. In fact, when
listening to a movie, virtually
all of the dialogue and a sub-
stantial number of the effects
are reproduced through the
center channel.
