AEGOp5 Operation
- Delay Calibration
The recommended listening position is described below:
■ Centre channel speaker should be placed the same distance as the
left and right speakers from your listening position.
■ Rear left and right speakers should be placed behind your listening
position and above ear level.
■ If speaker placement is restricted due to the physical environment
of the room, delay calibration is sometimes necessary to achieve
the ideal listening environment.
■ If the centre speaker can only be placed nearer to you than the left
and right speakers, sound from the centre speaker will arrive
before the sound from the left and right speakers. The difference in
arrival time could may affect the sound quality and effect. Your
AEGO
P 5 allows you to adjust the speaker time delay to compensate
for this problem by increasing the delay time for the centre channel.
Thus sound from the centre, left and right speakers will reach you
at the same time. If your centre speaker is closer to your listening
position than the left and right speakers, press DELAY button
repeatedly until the centre channel is selected. To increase or
decrease the delay time, press D TIME + or D TIME - until the
desired delay is selected. The same procedure can be applied to
adjust the delay time of rear surround speakers if necessary.

Delay Calibration
Press the DELAY button and repeat to
select the length of delay time for the
Rear Left (SL), Rear Right (SR) and
Centre(C) channels.
The delay range for SL/SR is 0 to 15
ms and 0 to 5 ms for centre.
Adjust the delay time for the selected
channel by pressing D TIME + or D
TIME - on the remote control.
Press the DELAY Button will display the current
delay time for channel LS.
Press the DELAY Button again will circle to next channel.
Press the D TIME + or D TIME - button will increase or
decrease the delay time for current channel.

Press DELAY Button and repeat to
select the length of delay time for
SL/SR/C channels.
The delay range for SL/SR is 0 to 15 ms
and 0 to 5 ms for centre.
Adjust the delay time on selected
channel by pressing D TIME + or
D TIME - on the remote control.
Surround Speaker Delay
Delay calibration for the rear surround
speakers may be necessary if the surround speakers are placed quite
close to your listening position. To correct the delay this may cause,
press the DELAY button repeatedly until SL or SR appear on the
display. Increase the time delay of the surround speakers by pressing
D TIME + until you are able to hear a 3D sound effect coming from
surround speakers.
Press DELAY Button again to move to the next channel.
Press D TIME + or D TIME - to increase or decrease
the delay time for the selected channel.
