delaying the output from the rear speakers (delay
time). You can adjust the delay time in 0.1 ms steps
within the range of 15 to 30 ms. For example, if you've
placed the rear speakers in a large room or apart from

Adjusting the tone

You can adjust the tone of the speakers.
Follow the procedure described in "Adjusting the
tone" below.
Customizing the Sound Fields
Each sound field is composed of an equalizer (bass,
midrange, or treble) and surround sound parameters
— variables of sound, that create the sound image. You
can customize the sound fields by adjusting the
speaker level (LEVEL) and effect (EFFECT) surround
parameters to suit your listening situation.
Once you customize the sound fields, they are stored in
memory unless the amplifier is unplugged for about 1
week.
Adjusting the tone

for optimum sound. You can adjust the tone of all
sounds fields, including Dolby Surround.
