Selecting the delay time of the speakers
(Effective when playing 5.1-channel sound)
(Center and surround speakers only)
For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for
the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position.
If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating
position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.
