attention
  • Refer to the following for the method of calculating the delay time.

    A = (B-C) / 34

    A:Delay time (ms)

    B:Distance from the listening position to the furthest speaker (cm)

    C:Distance from the listening position to the speaker to be adjusted (cm)

    (Example) Listening position:Driver's seat (left)

    B:200 (cm)

    C:50 (cm)

    Delay time= 200 (cm) - 50 (cm) / 34= Approx. 4.4 (ms)

5Press the [SELECT] (Up/Down) button to adjust the level.

Up :
Increases the dB.

Down :
Decreases the dB.
