Adjustment of the REAR LEVEL

If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of the rear
speakers even if the output level is already set in “SPEAKER
BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
” on page 13.

If the program DOLBY 3 STEREO is selected, this
adjustment is useless.

Once the output level is adjusted, the level value will be the
same in the DOLBY PRO LOGICROCK and HALL
programs.

If no program is used, this adjustment is useless.

Adjustment of DELAY TIME

You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of
the source sound and the beginning of the effect sound with
the DELAY TIME keys.
By applying more or less delay, sound effects, background
noise, and ambient noise coming at you from the rear speakers
can be enhanced or subdued for extra effect.

PRO LOGIC

: from 15 to 30 milliseconds

(Preset value: 20 milliseconds)

ROCK

: from 5 to 60 milliseconds

(Preset value: 20 milliseconds)

HALL

: from 5 to 60 milliseconds

(Preset value: 20 milliseconds)

By continuously pressing “+” or “–” key, the value changes
continuously.

Notes

When DOLBY 3 STEREO is selected, this adjustment
cannot be made.

Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with
some sources.  Experiment with the DELAY TIME keys to
create the effect that you find most suitable.

The values of the DELAY TIME 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.

When the DELAY TIME key is pressed, the sound is
momentarily interrupted.
