SURROUND SOUND
When the center speaker or the rear speakers is (are) closer to the listener than the front speakers, the sound from the center
speaker or the rear speakers can arrive at the listener’s ear earlier than the sound from the front speakers.
In this case, the imaging is not as sharp and stable as it could be.
For audible improvement, the sound from center speaker can be delayed with the center delay time setting so that the sound from
the front and the center speakers will be heard at the same time and the sound from the rear speakers can be also delayed with the
rear delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the rear speakers will be heard at the same time.
The optimum delay time will be different according to the room size and the acoustic properties. It is recommended that you try
different times to obtain the best effect.
• It is adjustable in the Dolby Digital and the Dolby Pro Logic modes only.(For details, refer to “In Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro
Logic mode, adjusting delay times of the speakers” on page 20.)
This unit incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound quality
and sound atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.
