Delay time ENGLISH
When the center speaker or the rear speakers is(are) closer to the listener than the front speakers, the sound from the center speaker or the rear speakers can arrive at the listener's ears earlier than the sound from the front speakers. For audible improvement, the sound from center speaker can be delayed with the center delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the center speakers will be heard at the same time and the sound from the rear speakers can be also delayed with the rear delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the rear speakers will be heard at the same time. The optimum delay time will be different according to the room size and the acoustic properties. It is recommended that you try several times to obtain the best effect. It is adjustable in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Virtual modes. (For details, refer to "In Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Virtual mode, adjusting delay times of the speakers" on page 18)

Rear speakers: Place the rear speakers approximately 1m above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
