Adjusting the delay time
You can adjust the time difference between the beginning of the
sound from the main speakers and the beginning of the sound
effect from the rear speakers.
The larger the value, the later the sound effect is generated.
This adjustment can be individually made to all programs.
Notes
• Adding too much delay will cause an unnatural effect with
some sources.
• When + or – is pressed, the sound is momentarily
interrupted.

If desired, you can adjust the sound output level of each
speaker even if the output level has already been set in
“SPEAKER BALANCE ADJUSTMENT” on pages 23 to 25.
Notes
• The output level of the center speaker cannot be adjusted
when the DISCO, ROCK CONCERT or CONCERT HALL
program is selected, and the input signal is analog, PCM
audio, or encoded with Dolby Digital in 2-channel format.
• If the function “CNTR” in the SET MENU mode is set to the
NONE position, the sound output level of the center speaker
cannot be adjusted. This is because, in this mode, the center
sound is automatically output from the left and right main
speakers.
• Once the output level has been adjusted, the level will be the
same for all digital sound field programs.

Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data from being lost when this unit is set in the standby mode. If, however, the
power plug is disconnected from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary power failure for more than one week, the
values for the delay time and the center/rear/subwoofer output levels you set the last time will automatically return to the preset
values. If so, they can be re-set by simply following the adjusting method on page 45.
