My receiver doesn't automatically adjusts the surround delay as newer receivers do. The default delay right now is 20ms for dolby prologic and 5ms for dolby digital and dts. After almost 3 years I decided to play around with the delay and noticed that the soundfield cohesion and front to back and back to front panning is much better if I reduce the delay. My fronts are about 12 ft away and the surrounds are up and to the sides of the listening position about 6 ft away. I was under impression that you delay 1ms for every feet, but since that's about how I had it set up for the last couple of years, I always noticed that the sond seemed to jump when front to back panning was present. Now that I'ved reduced the delay, this is not the case. I know there's a correct formula somewhere. Any help?
