time for your audio system. You only need to adjust the speaker settings
if you used the Player’s MULTICHANNEL AUDIO OUT jacks to connect
the Player to a six-channel Receiver (Dolby Digital or DTS) as shown on

● Choose B to increase or decrease the volume of the speaker.
● Choose to adjust the frequency capabilities of your speakers.
Select L (large) if the chosen speaker can handle low frequency sig-
nals below 120 Hz. Select S (small) if the speaker can not reproduce
low frequency signals below 120 Hz. Select c (off) if you did not
connect that speaker. Your choice will appear below the bar at
the bottom of the screen. See your speakers’ literature for details on
speaker capability.
● Choose X to adjust the speaker delay time. You can adjust the
delay time for only the Center and Surround speakers.
If the surround speakers are about 150 centimeters nearer to the lis-
tening position than the front speakers, and the center speaker aligns
with the front speakers, no adjustment is needed.
If your speaker setup is different, adjust the delay times. First, mea-
sure the distance, in centimeters, from the front speaker to the lis-
tening position and from the surround speaker to the listening posi-
tion. Subtract the surround distance from the front distance, then
divide by 30. The result is the Surround speaker delay time in mil-
liseconds.
You may choose 0 ms, 5 ms, 10 ms, or 15 ms in the X column for
Surround L and Surround R. Press 8 or 9 to choose the delay time
in the X column for Surround L and Surround R that is closest to
the delay time you calculated in milliseconds (ms).
Or, if the Center speaker is closest to the listening position, measure
the distance (in centimeters) between the Front and Center speak-
ers, then divide by 30. The result is the Center speaker delay time in
milliseconds. Press 8 or 9 to select this delay time in milliseconds
(ms) in the X column for Center. You may choose 1-5 ms.
