* 1 Subwoofer speaker.

CDA-9811 only

Delay (turn the rotary encoder) the audio signal to the front (left and right) speakers to make the apparent position of the subwoofer to be at the front. In doing this, the apparent position between the front (left and right) speakers and subwoofer will appear equal to the driver. After performing the above, you can change the positions of the left and right speakers by delaying the time .

* 2 Because the time difference was already set to 1.5 ms for the front left speaker to begin with, the additional correction of 1.5 ms makes the total time difference of the front left speaker 3.0 ms.
