Adjusting the Center Delay Time
The center delay time is the time difference between the
beginning of the sound from the main speakers and the
beginning of the sound from the center speaker. When the
other DSP program except for SILENT CINEMA is
selected, it is possible to adjust the center delay time. This
adjusts the delay between the main sound (on the main
speakers) and dialog, etc. (on the center speaker).
This makes sounds from the left main, center and right main
speakers reach your listening position at the same time. This
is achieved by delaying the sound from the center speaker if
the distance from the center speaker to your listening
position is shorter than the distance from the right and left
main speakers to your listening position. Each time the
value of the center delay time is added by 1 ms, the center
speaker is positioned farther from your listening position by
about 30 cm virtually.

Adjusting the Delay Time
When the selected DSP program is VIRTUAL
SURROUND, DOLBY DIGITAL/DOLBY PRO LOGIC/
DTS or SILENT CINEMA, it is possible to adjust the delay
time. The delay time is that time difference between when
the sound from the main speakers can be heard and the
surround sound can be heard.
The larger the value, the later the sound field effect is
generated.

– For Dolby Digital (except for 2 ch)/DTS input: 0 to 15 ms
– For the other inputs: 15 to 30 ms
If the delay time level of a signal input is adjusted, that of
other signal inputs will be changed. For example, when the
delay time of the Dolby Digital (except for 2 ch)/DTS
inputs is adjusted from 0 ms (minimum) to 5 ms, that of the
other signal inputs is adjusted from 15 ms (minimum) to 20
ms automatically.
