SET UP Initial Setup Channel Delay Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve a surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your speakers to add the proper delay. The following steps show you how to set the delay time for each channel by specifying the distances from your listening position to each speaker. Once you specify the speaker distances, the receiver calculates the correct delay times automatically. If continuing from Speaker Setting go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in "Setting Up for Surround Sound" (p.27) first. 1-4 SOURCE RECEIVER DVD CD TV VCR 1 MULTI CONTROL CD-R TUN VCR 2 TVC 1 LOUDNESS 4 INPUT ATT 2 3 VIDEO SELECT MULTI CH INPUT 5 DIGITAL NR 6 FL DIMMER REMOTE SETUP SYSTEM SETUP SIGNAL SELECT +10 DISC 0 ENTER EFFECT/CH SEL RECEIVER TV VOL TV MASTER VOLUME TV CONTROL TVFUNC 4 CHANNEL ¢ TUNE ST ST ENTER TUNE GUIDE D.ACCESS & BAND ‹ MENU CLASS * MPX DTV ON / OFF DTV MENU ¶ !⁄ RETURN S.MODE CLEAR DTV INFO RDM RECEIVER DIRECT CONTROL MIDNIGHT DSP STEREO FUNCTION THX ADVANCED STANDARD MUTE 2 / DTS Î AV PRE-PROGRAMMED AND LEARNING REMOTE CONTROL UNIT RETURN MULTI JOG (Turn to select / Push to enter) 1 Select "Channel Delay" with the 5¥∞ buttons or MULTI JOG dial (if continuing from the last set up, it should already be selected).
