Having bought a pre-owned Sony FM stereo tuner through eBay, it came without any manuals. It soon became clear that to get the best from this excellent tuner I needed a decent manual because much of the operation was not intuitive to a newboy to hi fi like me. I managed to download the official Sony multi-lingual manual from Owner-Manuals.com with no problem at all - a really quick and easy service. I'm very glad I did because I found out all the operations of the tuner and was then able to not only set it up quickly but also to get much more from it that poke-and-hope trialling would ever achieve. In my book $4.99 very well spent.

What is delay time?
The sound entering the ears include the direct sound coming from the sound source and the indirect sounds reflected from the walls, floor, ceiling, etc. The indirect sounds are delayed because they travel longer distance required for reflection before they reach the ears. The delay time is the difference in time between the direct sound and indirect sounds.
� The input selector does not change the first time you press the VIDEO key.
How to calculate the proper delay time
Assuming that the distance from the front speaker is A meters and the distance from the surround speakers is B meters
Front speakers
1 Use the delay time calculation chart on the right. Example: When A = 3 m, B = 3 m, the delay time is 20 ms. 2 Use the following formula for calculation. Delay time = 20 + 3 x (A - B) (Unit: ms)
