Setting the distance to the listening position
Ideally, all the speakers in a home cinema system, should be set up
at equal distances from the listener. The central speaker should also
be positioned in line with the front speakers. If these preconditions
are met, you do not need to set a time delay for the sound, because
the default setting is »0ms«.
However, central and front loudspeakers are often set up closer to
the listener. In this case, the sound must be electronically delayed by
a fraction of a second. This is done using the sound time delay func-
tion.
If the central speaker is no more than 50 cm from the line between
the front speakers, the setting is not necessary. If the distance is
greater, you must find out the difference between the distances from
the listener to the front speakers and from the listener to the central
speaker. Enter the travel time of the sound in milliseconds (ms)
(»0ms« to »5ms«). One metre roughly corresponds to 3 milli-
seconds.
When using surround speakers, you must also find out the differ-
ence between the distances from the listener to the front speakers
and from the listener to the surround speakers. Enter the travel time
of the sound from »0ms«, »3ms« to »12ms«, »15ms«. One metre
roughly corresponds to 3 milliseconds.
