Adjustment of DELAY TIME

You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of
the sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the
effect sound from the rear speakers.
The larger the value, the later the effect sound is generated. 
This adjustment can be made to all programs individually.

PRO LOGIC

: from 15 to 30 milliseconds

(Preset value: 20 milliseconds)

PRO LOGIC

: from 15 to 30 milliseconds

ENHANCED

(Preset value: 20 milliseconds)

CONCERT VIDEO

: from 1 to 100 milliseconds

(Preset value: 28 milliseconds)

MONO MOVIE

: from 1 to 100 milliseconds

(Preset value: 20 milliseconds)

STADIUM

: from 1 to 50 milliseconds

(Preset value: 45 milliseconds)

DISCO

: from 1 to 100 milliseconds

(Preset value: 14 milliseconds)

ROCK CONCERT

: from 1 to 100 milliseconds

(Preset value: 17 milliseconds)

CONCERT HALL

: from 1 to 100 milliseconds

(Preset value: 30 milliseconds)

1

Press once or more so that “DELAY” appears on the
display.

2

By continuously pressing the “+” or “–” side of the
TIME/LEVEL button, the value changes continuously.
The value stops changing momentarily at the preset point.

Notes

Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with
some sources.

When the TIME/LEVEL button is pressed, sound is
momentarily interrupted.

Note
The values of the delay time, center level and rear level you set
the last time will remain memorized even when the power of
this unit is off.
However, if the power cord is kept disconnected for more than
one week, these values will be automatically changed back to
the original factory settings.
