Changing the integration of the centre
If you have a centre loudspeaker you can adjust its
relative loudness, to provide the best integration of the
centre with the main left and right speakers.
You can also adjust the relative delay, or depth, of the
centre speaker to give the best perspective between
the three front speakers.
Note: These adjustments are not available for the
Direct, Stereo, or Mono presets.
To change the relative level of the
centre speaker
Press > or < until the display shows the current
centre level.
For example:
CD Centre+0.0dB
Press A or V to change the relative level of the
centre speaker.
You can change the relative level by ±3dB.
To change the relative delay of the
centre speaker
Press < or > until the display shows the current
centre depth.
For example:
CD Depth +0.0
Press A or V to change the relative depth of the
centre speaker.
You can change the depth between -2.5ms, which
corresponds to moving the centre speaker 0.75m
(2  ') nearer to the listening position, and +5ms, which
corresponds to moving it 1.5m (5') further away from
the listening position.
Increasing the depth makes the sound more open.
Decreasing it makes the sound more focused.
