AEGOp5 Operation - Delay Calibration The recommended listening position is described below: Centre channel speaker should be placed the same distance as the left and right speakers from your listening position. Rear left and right speakers should be placed behind your listening position and above ear level. If speaker placement is restricted due to the physical environment of the room, delay calibration is sometimes necessary to achieve the ideal listening environment. If the centre speaker can only be placed nearer to you than the left and right speakers, sound from the centre speaker will arrive before the sound from the left and right speakers. The difference in arrival time could may affect the sound quality and effect. Your AEGO P5 allows you to adjust the speaker time delay to compensate for this problem by increasing the delay time for the centre channel. Thus sound from the centre, left and right speakers will reach you at the same time. If your centre speaker is closer to your listening position than the left and right speakers, press DELAYbutton repeatedly until the centre channel is selected. To increase or decrease the delay time, press D TIME +or D TIME - until the desired delay is selected. The same procedure can be applied to adjust the delay time of rear surround speakers if necessary. AEGOp5 Operation - Time Delay Adjustment on Centre Channel Speaker Delay Calibration Press the DELAYbutton and repeat to select the length of delay time for the Rear Left (SL), Rear Right (SR) and Centre(C) channels. The delay range for SL/SR is 0 to 15 ms and 0 to 5 ms for centre. Adjust the delay time for the selected channel by pressing D TIME + or D TIME - on the remote control.Press the DELAY Buttonwill display the current delay time for channel LS. Press the DELAY Buttonagain will circle to next channel. Press the D TIME + or D TIME- button will increase or decrease the delay time for current channel. AEGOp5 Operation - Time Delay Adjustment on Surround Speakers Delay Calibration Press DELAY Buttonand repeat to select the length of delay time for SL/SR/C channels. The delay range for SL/SR is 0 to 15 ms and 0 to 5 ms for centre. Adjust the delay time on selected channel by pressing D TIME +or D TIME- on the remote control. Surround Speaker Delay Delay calibration for the rear surround speakers may be necessary if the surround speakers are placed quite close to your listening position. To correct the delay this may cause, press the DELAYbutton repeatedly until SL or SR appear on the display. Increase the time delay of the surround speakers by pressing D TIME +until you are able to hear a 3D sound effect coming from surround speakers. Press DELAY Buttonagain to move to the next channel. Press D TIME +orD TIME- to increase or decrease the delay time for the selected channel.
