Fine Tuning Your System FINE CHANNEL DELAY The following steps show you how to adjust the delay level of your speakers more finely than in the NORMAL setup (see page 36). Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an effective surround sound effect. Do this procedure if you want to try and get even finer surround sound. The main difference with this setup method and the CHANNEL DELAY setup method in NORMAL setup is that here the test tone sounds from a reference channel and you use that to measure the target speaker (that is, the speaker whose level you want to adjust).

Stand facing the two speakers with your arms outstretched pointing at each speaker. Try to make the two tones sound as if they are arriving simultaneously at a postion slightly in front of you and between your arm span. The distance can be set within a range of 0.5 to 45 feet in 0.5 foot steps. When you press ENTER you will automatically go to the next channel. 82
