The sound reproduction then only comes from two chan-

CNTR DELAY
Here you can set the delay with which the sound of the
center loudspeaker reaches your listening position. If the
settings have been carried out optimally, the sound from
all loudspeakers will reach your listening position at the
same time.
The correct value depends on the distance of the center
loudspeaker from your listening position. Three millisec-
onds delay correspond to a distance of around one meter.
Set a delay between one and five milliseconds with the up
and down control buttons.
REAR DELAY
Here you can set the delay with which the rear loudspeak-
er arrives at your listening position. If the settings have
been carried out optimally, the sound from all loudspeak-
ers will reach your listening position at the same time.
The correct value depends on the distance of the rear
loudspeaker from your listening position. Three millisec-
onds delay correspond to a distance of around one meter.
Set a delay between one and fifteen milliseconds with the
up and down control buttons.
TEST TONE
Choose between the ON and OFF options. When the test
sound is switched on, you will hear a hissing sound com-
ing one after the other from all connected loudspeakers.
With this sound you can test, whether
• all loudspeakers are correctly connected to the combi-
nation unit and
• you have the optimal delay setting for the rear and the
center loudspeakers.
