Determining the delay time automatically

If you specify the distance from the currently set listening position to every speaker, the delay time will be automatically calculated.

1 Set [POSITION] and determine the listening position as the reference point (the reference point for [FRONT ALL] will be the center between the right and left in the front seats).

2 Measure the distances from the reference point to the speakers.

3 Calculate the distance between the furthest speaker (subwoofer on the illustration) and other speakers.

4Sets the [DISTANCE] calculated in step 3 for individual speakers.

5 Adjusts [GAIN] for individual speakers.

Example: When [FRONT ALL] is selected as the listening position

*1 Before making an adjustment, select the speaker: When 2-way crossover is selected:

[FRONT LEFT]/[FRONT RIGHT]/[REAR LEFT]/[REAR RIGHT]/[SUBWOOFER]:

–[REAR LEFT], [REAR RIGHT] and [SUBWOOFER] is selectable only if a setting other than
