No sound is output from the speaker. If the subwoofer is set so that no sound is output, the front speakers will automatically be set to support low-frequency reproduction. Connect front speakers that can reproduce the bass range below 100 Hz if you do not connect a subwoofer. To set the delay time (b) (only when the speakers are not placed equidistant from the seating position) (Effective only when playing multi-channel discs) 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. If distances d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speakers), leave the delay time as "0", the factory preset. If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the relevant table and change to the recommended setting. d Center speaker Difference LC R Approx. 30 cm (1 feet) de Approx. 60 cm (2 feet) Approx. 90 cm (3 feet) Setting 1.0 ms 2.0 ms 3.0 ms f SW Approx. 120 cm (4 feet) Approx. 150 cm (5 feet) 4.0 ms 5.0 ms LS RS f Surround speakers Difference Setting Approx. 150 cm (5 feet) 5.0 ms Approx. 300 cm (10 feet) 10.0 ms Approx. 450 cm (15 feet) 15.0 ms 7 Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select "ms" and press [ENTER]. 8 Press [3, 4] to adjust the delay time and press [ENTER].
