Remote control only
By adjusting the delay time, the difference in the distance from the

to the center speaker and surround speakers can be offset and
made equal. This achieves better sound localization and makes a
more life-like reproduction of the sound field possible.

adjusted.
The current delay time is displayed.
Press again to change the speaker channel;
C (Center speaker)
↔

2. Press [SHIFT] + [CH LEVEL (+, –)] to set the delay time.
The delay time changes with each press.
