Fine Tuning Your System
FINE CHANNEL DELAY
The following steps show you how to adjust the delay level of your speakers more finely than in the NORMAL
setup (see page 43). Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth,
separation as well as an effective surround sound effect. Do this procedure if you want to try and get even finer
surround sound.
The main difference with this setup method and the CHANNEL DELAY setup method in NORMAL setup is that
here the test tone sounds from a reference channel and you use that to measure the target speaker (that is, the
speaker whose level you want to adjust).
Follow steps 1-5 on page 96, if necessary, to get to the
starting point mentioned here.
1 FINE CHANNEL DELAY should be
selected, if it isn’t use the
5∞
buttons to select and press ENTER.
2 Use the
5∞ buttons to adjust the
distance of the FRONT L channel.
Press ENTER.
Test tones will be output.
This channel will be the target reference which you
use to measure the other channels.
3 Use the
5∞ buttons to select the
channel you want to adjust. Press
ENTER.
Test tones will be output for the channel you want to
adjust and a reference channel.
Listen to the reference channel and use to measure
the target channel.
4 Adjust the distance of each channel
using the
5∞ buttons.
Listen to the reference
channel and use it to measure
the target channel. Stand
facing the two speakers with
your arms outstretched
pointing at each speaker. Try
to make the two tones sound
as if they are arriving simultaneously at a position
slightly in front of you and between your arm span.
The distance can be set within a range of 0.5 to 45 feet
in 0.5 foot steps.
When you press ENTER you will automatically go to
the next channel.
5 Press ENTER to select a new
channel. Repeat step 4 for every
channel.
If you want to change a setting before proceeding
Use the
5∞ buttons to go back to the channel you
want to adjust and press ENTER. Then follow step 3.
6 When done select EXIT (if it's not
already selected) and press ENTER.
Next, if you want, proceed to ACOUSTIC CAL EQ.
