Delay Time
1. The delay time can be simultaneously set for the
DOLBY DIGITAL/DOLBY PRO LOGIC modes using the
DELAY TIME (CENTER/REAR) button. When you
adjust the delay time in the DOLBY DIGITAL mode, an
additional 15 ms is automatically added to the
surround channels in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode.
The current setting is shown on the display.
Delay Time Setting
In the surround modes, the sound from the rear
speakers should be delayed slightly, relative to that
from the front speakers. The optimum delay time will
depend on acoustic properties, whether the walls and
furnishings reflect or absorb sound, etc.
It is recommended that you try different delay times to
obtain the best effect. The delay is digitally synthesized,
for the highest sound quality with minimum noise and
distortion.
The delay time can be set independently for each
surround mode using the DELAY TIME button, with the
current setting shown in the display.
