Speaker Distance

For good sound depth and separation from your system,
you need to specify the distance of your speakers from
the listening position. The receiver can then add the
proper delay needed for effective surround sound.

1

Select ‘Speaker Distance’ from the Manual SP

Setup menu.

2

Adjust the distance of each speaker using

/.

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.

Tip

• 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.

1

Select ‘X-Curve’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

2

Choose the X-Curve setting you want.

Use

/ to adjust the setting. The X-Curve is expressed

as a downwards slope in decibels 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:

• 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, SB Speaker Position, THX
Select2 Subwoofer (on/off), and Boundary Gain Control.
Please see page 109 for a details regarding these THX
features.

1

Select ‘THX Audio Setting’ from the Manual SP

setup menu.

2

Select either ON or OFF for THX Loudness Plus

setting.

3

Specify the distance of your surround back speakers

from each other.

0–1 ft – Surround back speakers within 1 foot apart

(best for THX surround sound).

>1– 4 ft – Surround back speakers between 1 and 4

feet apart.

4 ft< – Surround back speakers more than 4 feet

apart (default).

Note

1 Since the principal is the same, X-Curve isn’t applied when you’re using any of the Home THX modes (see Using the Home THX modes on

page 57).
