11. Dolby Digital Mode also includes a sepa rate setting for the center channel delay mode since the discrete nature of these signals makes the location of the center channel speaker more critical To calculate the delay for the center channel measure the distance from the pre ferred listening position in the center of the room to both the center channel speaker and either the left or right speaker If the distances are equal no further adjustment is required and the center delay should be set to zero If the distance to the front speakers is greater than the distance to the center speaker you may wish to reposition the speakers by moving the front left and front right speakers closer to the listening position or the center speaker further away from the listening position If repositioning of the speakers is not possible adjust the center delay time adding one mil lisecond of center channel delay for every foot closer to the listening position the center speaker is than the front speakers For example if the front left and front right speakers are each 10 feet from the listening position and the center channel speaker is 8 feet away the delay is figured as 10 8 2 suggesting an optimal center delay of 2 milliseconds 19 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration To set the delay times follow these steps Press the Set button DFI 1 Put the AVR 110 in the Dolby Pro Logic Select the Dolby Digital mod
