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
1 Use the delay time calculation chart on the right.
Example: When A = 3 m, B = 3 m, the delay time is 20 ms.
25
What is delay time?
Surround speakers
2 Use the following formula for calculation.
Delay time = 20 + 3 x (A - B) (Unit: ms)
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.
4 Adjust the volume level of each speaker.
1 Ensure that "TEST L" is displayed. 2 Adjust the volume levels of the center speaker and surround speakers with reference to the front speaker (left & right) levels. (1) While test tone is output from the speaker(s) to be adjusted, (2) Adjust the speaker level.
