Setting the speaker levels
Because the center speaker is usually physically closer
to the listener than the main left and right speakers you
should add a delay to the center speaker to ensure that the
sound from all three front speakers reaches the listener
at the same time. In the case of the rear speakers you will
normally add a delay to increase the spaciousness of the
sound.
To change the speaker delays
• Use the SELECTOR on the front panel or the
or buttons on the remote control to highlight the
DELAY SETTINGS option and press the button
on the front panel or the
SELECT
button on the remote
control to select it.
The DELAY SETTINGS menu will be displayed:
You should next set the speaker levels, so that the sound
from each speaker is equally loud at the listening position.
The MANUAL option allows you to adjust each speaker
to equalize the loudness at the listening position.
To change the speaker levels
• Use the INPUT SELECTOR on the front panel or the
or buttons on the remote control to highlight
OUTPUT LEVELS -MANUAL in the SET LEVELS
menu and press the
button on the front panel or
the
SELECT
button on the remote control to select it.
The SET LEVELS menu shows the current speaker levels:
SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
• Highlight each of the speakers in turn, using the
SELECTOR on the front panel or the or buttons
on the remote control, and use the VOLUME control

Adjust the value according to the distance of each speaker
from the listening position. You can adjust the delay for
each speaker between 0 and 100 feet.
