APPENDIX
SET MENU
12 SP DELAY
Use this feature to adjust the delay of the Center and the
Rear Center channel sounds. This feature works when
there is sound output from the center speakers with a
source like Dolby Digital or DTS, etc. Ideally, the Center
speaker and the Rear Center speaker should be the same
distance from the main listening position as the left and
right Main speakers. However, in most home situations,
the Center speaker or the Rear Center speaker is placed in
line with the Main speakers or the Rear speakers. By
delaying the sound from the Center speaker and the Rear
Center speaker, the apparent distance from the Center
speaker and the Rear Center speaker to the main listening
position can be adjusted to make it seem the same as the
distance between the left and right Main speaker, and the
left and right Rear speakers to the listening position.
Adjusting the delay time for the Center speaker is
especially important for giving depth to the dialogue.
