How to calculate the
proper delay time

Assuming that the distance from
the front speakers is A meters and
that from the surround speakers
is B meters:

Front

speakers

Surround
speakers

What is delay time?

The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor,
ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The delay
time is the difference in time between the direct sound and indirect sounds.

1 Use the delay time calcula-

tion chart on the right.

Example:
When A = 3 m,B = 3 m,
the delay time is 20 ms.

2 Use the following

formula for calculation.

Delay time =
20 + 3

×

(A - B) (Unit: ms)

Adjust the level from each speaker. “Test Tone”

1 Output the ”Test Tone“.

2 Adjust the levels of the other speakers than the front

speakers (left, right).

(1) While test tone is output from a speaker,
(2) Adjust the volume level of the speaker.

3 Quit the speaker level adjustment.

÷ Adjustment items 5, 6 and 8 are not required in the 3 STEREO mode.

÷ Find the optimum delay time for the listening room by referring to “How

to calculate the delay time”.

÷ The delay time in the PRO LOGIC mode can be adjusted between 15 and

30 ms.

÷ Select the closest value to the value obtained by “How to calculate the

delay time”.
