Setting The Speaker Distance Delays
Setting the speaker delay is crucial to the proper performance of any sur-
round decoder component like the P-2000. Your home theater system will
not perform properly if this process is not completed.
To accomplish this process you will need a tape measure or other means
of determining the distance of each speaker from the primary listening
position.
To set the speaker distance delays for your speakers:
1. Press the MENU button to enter the Main Menu.
The Main Menu appears on the Front Panel Display and the OSD.
The cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the Input Conguration
menu and
INPUT CONFIG appears on the Front Panel Display.
2. Press the button until the System Conguration menu is
selected.
The cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the System Conguration
menu and
SYSTEM CONFIG appears on the Front Panel Display.
3. Press SELECT to enter the System Conguration menu.
The System Conguration menu appears on the Front Panel Display
and the OSD (see gure 4). The selected menu item should be
FRONT
DISTANCE .
Before setting the speaker distances, you need to choose what unit of
distance you will be using.
4. Press the button repeatedly until the Distance Unit menu
is selected.
5. Use the < and > buttons to select between Feet and
Meters.
6. Press the button repeatedly until you return to the Front
Distance menu.
To set the distance for each group speakers in your system, you will
need to measure, as precisely as possible, the distances from your
chosen listening/viewing position to the various loudspeakers in
your system.
Set the distance for the Front L/R speakers to the nearest foot/meter.
Rounding up is OK. Distances can be set in the following incre-
ments:
Feet 0 to 20 feet in 1 foot increments.
Meters 0 to 6 meters in 0.3 meter increments.
You can scroll in either direction using the < and > buttons.
7. Press the button after you have made a selection.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the Center and Surround speakers.
You should note your nal settings above for future reference. Use the
spaces below to enter the distances for your speaker setup.
