Channel Delay
Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve a surround sound effect. You need to figure out the
distance from your listening position to your speakers to add the proper delay. The following steps show you how to
set the delay time for each channel by specifying the distances from your listening position to each speaker. Once you
specify the speaker distances, the receiver calculates the correct delay times automatically. If continuing from SPEAKER
SETTING go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.24) first.
