Calibrating the system
39
As you increase the delay the centre speaker will appear to
move away from you. In practice we usually find that the ideal
delay setting is +0.5 more than the value used to time-align the
system.
For example, if the original value was
+1.0' adjust it to:
Centre +1.5'
This is equivalent to moving the centre speaker 1 /
2
foot further
away from the listener.
You have now calibrated all the front speakers.

Front-Rear
This calibration test adjusts the relative phase between the front
speakers and the rear surround speakers.
After a short delay the display shows:
Surr R Phs +
● Use A and V to change the phase of the right surround
speaker.
Choose the correct setting as follows:
Setting What it sounds like
Correct A focused central image between the
right front and rear speakers.
Incorrect A diffuse, phasey image between the
two right speakers that changes as you
move your head.
This is a difficult setting to adjust, but is particularly important for
the Ambisonic and Super Stereo DSP modes.
