IP address/Proxy setting
In case the router connected to the LAN termi-
nal on this receiver is a broadband router (with
a built-in DHCP server function), simply turn on
the DHCP server function, and you will not need
to set up the network manually. You must set up
the network as described below only when you
have connected this receiver to a broadband
router without a DHCP server function. Before
you set up the network, consult with your ISP or
the network manager for the required settings.
It is advised that you also refer to the operation
manual supplied with your network component.
! In case you make changes to the network
configuration without the DHCP server
function, make the corresponding changes to
the network settings of this receiver.
IP Address
The IP address to be entered must be defined
within the following ranges. If the IP address
defined is beyond the following ranges, you
cannot play back audio files stored on compo-
nents on the network or listen to Internet radio
stations.
Class A: 10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.254
Class B: 172.16.0.1 to 172.31.255.254
Class C: 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254
Subnet Mask
In case an xDSL modem or a terminal adapter
is directly connected to this receiver, enter the
subnet mask provided by your ISP on paper. In
most cases, enter 255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway
In case a gateway (router) is connected to this
receiver, enter the corresponding IP address.
2 Adjust the distance of each speaker
using
k/l.
You can adjust the distance of each speaker in
1/2 inch Increments.
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
! For best surround sound, make sure the
surround back speakers are the same
distance from the listening position.
X-Curve
Most soundtracks mixed for cinema sound too
bright when played back in large rooms. The
X-Curve setting acts as a kind of re-equalization
for home theater listening, and restores proper
tonal balance of movie soundtracks.
Since the principal is the same, X-Curve isn’t
applied when you’re using any of the Home
THX, Pure direct or Optimum surround modes.
1 Select ‘X-Curve’ from the
Manual SP Setup menu.
2 Choose the X-Curve setting you want.
Use k/l to adjust the setting. The X-Curve
is expressed as a downwards slope in deci-
bels per octave, starting at 2 kHz. The sound
becomes less bright as the slope increases (to
a maximum of –3.0dB/oct). Use the following
guidelines to set the X-Curve according to your
room size:
Room size (ft 2 ) ≤400 ≤550 ≤650 ≤800 ≤2200 ≤12000
X-Curve
(dB/oct)
–0.5 –1.0 –1.5 –2.0 –2.5 –3.0
! If you select OFF, the frequency curve will be
flat and the X-Curve has no effect.
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
THX Audio Setting
This menu allows the user to adjust various THX
features including Loudness Plus, SBch pro-
cessing, THX Select2 Subwoofer (on/off), and
Boundary Gain Control. Please see page 85 for
details regarding these THX features.
1 Select ‘THX Audio Setting’ from the
Manual SP Setup menu.
2 Select either ON or OFF for the THX
Loudness Plus setting.
3 Specify whether the SBch Processing is
AUTO or MANUAL.
! AUTO – When surround back speakers are

in the audio signals being input is detected
and the appropriate THX surround mode is
set.
! MANUAL – The desired THX surround mode
can be selected regardless of whether or not
surround back channel signals are present in
the audio signals being input.
4 Specify whether your subwoofer is
Select2 certified or not.
If your subwoofer isn’t THX Select2 certified, but

sation on, select YES here, but the effect might
