If the distance of Df is equal to the distance of Ds
in the figure, set the mode as 0ms. Otherwise,
change the setting according to the table.

Setting CENTER SPEAKER
If the distance of Dc is equal to or longer than the
distance of Df in the figure, set the mode as 0ms.

When 5.1CH Surround Sound is played, you can enjoy the best sound if the distance between you and each
speaker is the same. Since the sounds arrive at the listening position at different times depending on the placement
of speakers, you can adjust this difference by adding a delay effect to the sound of the Center Speaker and
Surround Speakers.
