Delay times  
Speaker Settings  
The DVD player is set to reproduce correctly synchronized  
Digital Surround Sound in a listening area where the  
surround speakers are about 150cm nearer to the listening  
position than the front speakers, and the center speaker is  
in line with the front speakers.To adjust for other listening  
area arrangements, adapt delay times according to the  
following instructions:  
6 Channel settings  
Front speaker  
L (Large): When the front speakers can reproduce  
low frequency signals below 120Hz  
S (Small): When the front speakers cannot produce  
low frequency signals below 120Hz  
Digital Surround  
Center Speaker*  
Measure the distances in centimeters from the front  
speaker and the surround speaker to the listening  
positioning.  
L (Large): When the center speaker can reproduce  
low frequency signals below 120Hz  
S (Small): When the center speaker cannot produce  
low frequency signals below 120Hz  
Subtract the surround distance from the front distance and  
divide by 30.The result is the required Surround Channel  
delay time in milliseconds.  
Off:  
When the center speaker is not connected  
If the center speaker is in line with the front speaker, no  
center speaker delay is needed. If, however, it is nearer the  
listening position, measure the distance in centimeters  
between the front and center speaker planes, and divide by  
30.The result is the required Center Channel delay time in  
milliseconds.
