To adjust for other listening area arrangements, adapt delay times according to the following instructions:

Measure the distances in centimeters from the front speaker and the surround speaker to the listening positioning. Subtract the surround distance from the front distance and divide by 30. The result is the required Surround Channel delay time in milliseconds. If the center speaker is in line with the front speaker, no center speaker delay is needed. If, however, it is nearer the listening position, measure the distance in centimeters between the front and center speaker planes, and divide by

30. The result is the required Center Channel delay time in milliseconds.
