Channel Delays
Ideally all of your speakers
will be the same distance
from your primary listening
area. If not, you can set
Channel Delays for your
center and surround speakers
so all audio signals arrive at
the same time.

Calculating Channel Delays
1 Measure the distance from your primary
listening area to your front speakers; e.g. 10
feet. Use this as your reference distance.
2 Now measure the distance from the primary
listening area to your center speaker; e.g. 7 feet.
3 Calculate the difference; e.g. 10 feet minus 7
feet = 3 feet.
4 Assume 1 ms of delay for each 1 foot of dis-
tance, e.g. set the Center delay to 3ms.
5 Repeat steps 2-4 for the surround speakers; e.g.
10 feet minus 4 feet = 6 feet, or 6 ms delay.
Note: If the center or surround distance is equal
to or greater than the reference distance, set the
delay to 0 ms.
