Take heed of warnings and instructions You should read all the safety and operating instructions before operating this appliance. [. . . ] The difference represents the REAR delay time. Note that if your rear loudspeakers are further from the listening position than the front loudspeakers, you should set this delay to 0ms. front left centre front right e. g. 2m (6ft) rear left rear right If you have made your measurements in feet, one foot approximates to one millisecond (1ms) delay. If you have made your measurements in metres, one metre approximates to three milliseconds (3ms) delay. Distance to listening position e. g.

(4 ­ 3m) or (12 ­ 9ft) = 1m or 3ft (4 ­ 2m) or (12 ­ 6ft) = 2m or 6ft 3 milliseconds 6 milliseconds When playing a Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Pro Logic II source you can set a time delay (in milliseconds) for the rear channels. There is no delay setting for the centre channel. The rear channel delay in Dolby Pro Logic is calculated by adding 15ms to the rear channel delay calculated for Dolby Digital. In our example, this is 15ms + 6ms = 21ms.

A `SMALL' speaker is one that is not capable of reproducing a deep bass signal (i. e. below 100Hz), for example a satellite speaker. `ON' is used when a speaker is present and active and receives the intended audio information. `OFF' is used when a speaker is absent or inactive. Audio signals intended for speakers set to OFF are redirected to the main speakers. 1 2 3 4 5 SETUP INPUT SETTINGS CHANNEL BALANCE CHANNEL DELAYS SPEAKER SETTINGS EXIT SPEAKER SETTINGS MAIN : LARGE CENTER : LARGE SURROUND : LARGE SUBWOOFER : ON SUBWOOFER STEREO : ON DO NOT SAVE AND EXIT SAVE AND EXIT ­ ­ Recommended speaker settings for different systems To configure a `Sub/Sat' system (i. e. a set of small speakers with a subwoofer), your speaker settings should be `SMALL' for all speakers, with Subwoofer turned `ON'. Some small but high performance speakers are capable of handling a signal below 100Hz: in this instance, set them to `LARGE' (despite their small physical size). If in doubt, please check the specifications in your speaker's handbook or ask your dealer. If you don't have a centre speaker, set CENTER to `OFF'. This directs the centre speaker information to the front left and right speakers, ensuring that dialogue is clearly reproduced. The SUBWOOFER STEREO setting is only relevant for music reproduction and does not affect sound reproduction for movies. If you have small speakers on the front, set SUBWOOFER STEREO to `ON' to give the extra bass reinforcement required for music. If your front speakers are large, or of high quality and performance, you may find music is reproduced more accurately with the Subwoofer turned `OFF'.
