Choose to adjust the frequency capabilities of your speakers.
Select L (large) if the chosen speaker can handle low frequency signals
below 120 Hz. Select S (small) if the speaker can not reproduce low fre-
quency signals below 120 Hz. Select c (off) if you did not connect that
speaker. Your choice will appear below the bar at the bottom of the

●

Choose

X to adjust the speaker delay time. You can adjust the delay time

for only the Center and Surround speakers.
If the surround speakers are about 150 centimeters nearer to the listening
position than the front speakers, and the center speaker aligns with the
front speakers, no adjustment is needed.
If your speaker setup is different, adjust the delay times. First, measure the
distance, in centimeters, from the front speaker to the listening position
and from the surround speaker to the listening position. Subtract the sur-
round distance from the front distance, then divide by 30. The result is the
Surround speaker delay time in milliseconds.
You may choose 0 ms, 5 ms, 10 ms, or 15 ms in the

X column for

Surround L and Surround R. Press 8 or 9 to choose the delay time in the

X column for Surround L and Surround R that is closest to the delay time
you calculated in milliseconds (ms).
Or, if the Center speaker is closest to the listening position, measure the
distance (in centimeters) between the Front and Center speakers, then
divide by 30. The result is the required Center speaker delay time in mil-
liseconds. Press 8 or 9 to select this delay time in milliseconds (ms) in the

X column for Center. You may choose 1-5 ms.
