For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for 
the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position.
If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating 
position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.
If either distance a or b is less than c, find the difference in the table 
and change to the recommended setting.To make the delay time settings
