Normal mode: This mode is suited for an arrangement in which the center channel speaker is smaller than the left and right speakers. Signals below 100 Hz which have almost no effect on directional orientation are distributed to the left and right channels, whereas the center channel output signals greater than 100 Hz. As a result, the bass of the left and right channels increases the apparent deepness of the sound. Wide mode: This mode is suited for an arrangement in which the center channel speaker is of the same grade as the left and right speakers. The entire sound band from low region to high is output to the center channel to provide an exciting sound field for your enjoyment. 40 Phantom mode: Use this mode when center channel speaker is not used. A directional emphasis circuit provides signal reproduc- 35 ti tion which is electrically oriented to the center and this provides an exciting sound field for your enjoyment. 30 Delay Time 25 The optimum delay time will differ depending on the listening position. Referring to the chart at right, set the optimum delay 20 f:t time for your room's space and seating position. For example, 15 A when the distance from the front speakers to the listening position is 20 feet and that from the rear speakers to the listening position is 15 feet, the optimum delay time will be 20 ms.
