Speaker Setup
SPK Mode
Setting up the Speaker Delay Time
When 5. 1CH Surround Sound is played, you can enjoy the best sound if the distance between you and each speaker is the same. Since the sounds arrive at the listening position at different times depending on the placement of speakers, you can adjust this difference by adding a delay effect to the sound of the Center Speaker and Surround Speakers. Setting CENTER SPEAKER If the distance of Dc is equal to or longer than the distance of Df in the figure, set the mode as 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the table.

Dolby Digital encoding method (discrete 5. 1 channel digital audio format)records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and Subwoofer channel signals (total 6 channels, but the Sub channel is counted as channel 0. 1). In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for Dolby Pro Logic. These facts result in better sound quality than Dolby Pro Logic. When the system detects Dolby Digital signals, the DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.
