Setting Up for Surround Sound CHANNEL DELAY Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an effective 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 (or it is done automatically in the Easy Setup Guide), the receiver calculates the correct delay times automatically. If continuing from CHANNEL LEVEL go to step 1.
