The CHANNEL DELAY should be
selected. If it isn’t use the
5∞
buttons
to select it. Press the ENTER button.
The setup possibilities appear on your TV
2
There are two ways to set the
CHANNEL DELAY, MANUAL and
AUTO. Select the method you’d like to
use with the
5∞
buttons and press
ENTER.
MANUAL:
In this way of setting the distance you
choose the speaker and adjust the distance yourself.
AUTO:
This way of setting the delay time is like that
described in the Quick Start Guide (p.14-17). The levels
are set automatically by the amplifier as it outputs the
test tones. For this setup you must have the setup mic
connected (see page 14).
WARNING :
Be prepared! The test tones are output at
a high volume level.
MASTER VOLUME rotates to the reference position (0 dB)
and the display on the amplifier flashes TEST TONE. After
a few seconds the test tone is output.

For MANUAL, Select each speaker with
the
5∞
buttons. Use the
2
3
buttons
to add or subtract the distance in
meters that the speaker is from your
normal listening position. For AUTO
you don’t need to do anything
Adjust the speaker distance in 0.1 increments from 0.1 to
15 meters.
The default setting is 2 m.

When done select RETURN with the
5∞
buttons and press ENTER.
Next, proceed to CHANNEL LEVEL below.
If you want to change a setting before proceeding
Start over from step 1.
CHANNEL DELAY
Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an
effective surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your
speakers to add the proper delay. The following steps show you how to set the delay time for each channel by
specifying the distances from your listening position to each speaker. Once you specify the speaker distances
(or it is done automatically through the AUTO selection, or in the Quick Start Guide), the amplifier calculates the
correct delay times automatically. If continuing from SPEAKER SYSTEMS go to step 1. If starting fresh,
complete steps 1-4 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.37) first.

memo
If you have surround back speakers we recommend
putting them at the same distance so you can use the
ASA feature (see p.94 & 96).
