Default Time correction

My car player (head unit) got a function known as time correction for
each speaker. (You see that in AV receiver, too)

According to the manual, the function is used to synchronize speakers
so that each is equal distance (virtually) from the listener. The
manual went on to state that if the listener desire to have the
speakers to be shifted further all we have to is increase the delay
time for each speakers.

How can that be possible? Let's say I am closer to right speaker by 1
meter- and to offset the different distance between left and right
speaker, I delayed the signal of my right speaker by say "x"
millisecond. Now theoretically, both signals should arrive my ears at
the same time because according to the manual the adjustment of time
delay would virtually place the right speakers 1 meter further than it
should be. Okay, that makes sense.

Now, if I delay my left speaker by say 14 times "x" millisecond
and my right speakers 15 times "x" millisecond, then can I say that
I have virtually shifted both speakers 14 meters further away?
