Center Delay delays the sound from the center speaker so that it
arrives at your primary listening area at the same time as the left
and right front speakers. Use only if the center speaker is closer
to your primary listening area than your front speakers. Assume
1 MS (millisecond) of delay for every 1 foot of difference in
distance. For example, if your center speaker is 2 feet closer than
your front speakers, then set the Center Delay to 2 MS.
Rear Delay delays the sound from the rear speakers so that it
arrives at your primary listening area at the same time as the left
and right front speakers. Use only if the rear speakers are closer
to your primary listening area than your front speakers. Assume
1 MS (millisecond) of delay for every 1 foot of difference in
distance. For example, if your rear speakers are 9 feet closer than
your front speakers, then set the Rear Delay to 9 MS.
Test Tone sends a test tone to each of the five primary speakers
so you can fine tune the levels for your primary listening area.
Listen carefully to the test tone as it moves to each speaker in the
following order: Left, Center, Right, Right Surround, Left
Surround. When finished, use
SPK LEVELS on the remote
control or front panel to adjust the levels for each individual
speaker.
Dynamic limits the dynamic range (the difference between the
loudest and quietest portions of the audio track) during DVD
playback. For example, when you are watching a movie late at
night and want to reduce loud noises (like explosions) and
increase the volume of soft noises (like whispering). Choose
from

compression).
