The ideal listening position is defined below:
??
Center channel speaker should be placed in a position that has an equal distance as the
left and right speakers to listener.
??
Surround left and surround right speakers should be placed behind the listener and above
listener’s ear level.
??
If speaker placement is restricted due to the physical environment of the room, delay
calibration maybe necessary to achieve the ideal listening environment.
??
If the center speaker only can be placed in a position that is closer to the listener than that
of the left and right speakers, the sound from the center speaker will be out of
synchronization with front left and front right. This difference in sound arrival time will
negatively affect the quality of the home theatre experience, even on the best DVD titles.
??
Fortunately the M6 501P allows you to adjust the center speaker time delay to
compensate for this problem by increasing the delay time for the center channel allowing
sound from the center, left and right speakers reach the listener at the same time. If your
center speaker is closer to the listening position than the left and right speakers, press the
DELAY
Button
repeatedly until the Center channel is reached. To increase or decrease the
delay time press
D TIME +
or
D TIME -
until the required distance is matched.
??
The same procedure can be applied for adjusting the delay time of surround speakers if
necessary.
