How to Adjust Speaker Time Delay
The ideal Home Theater Listening/Viewing area is defined
as facing directly toward the center front loudspeaker, and
in line with the left and right surround loudspeakers. The
following adjustments will electronically compensate for
different distances from the listening/viewing area to each
of the loudspeakers.
This feature is referred to as time delay, which involves
synchronizing the arrival time of the sound from all six
loudspeakers. The loudspeakers nearest to you have their
signals delayed to match the sound arrival time of the more
distant speakers. The time delay adjustments are based on
the distances in feet from each speaker to the Listening/
Viewing area and can be adjusted from 5 feet to 50 feet in
one foot increments.
Note: Before performing the TIME DELAY adjustments, you
must first have completed the SPEAKER SIZE
adjustments.
