THX Audio Setup
The settings in the THX Audio Setup menu allow you to
get optimum sound from the Home THX modes (on
page 45) if you’re using a subwoofer and surround back
speakers with your home theater system. See THX
speaker system setup on page 98 for more on this.
To access the THX Audio Setup menu, follow the steps
below.
1 Make sure your receiver and TV are both
switched on.
2 Using the remote control, press RECEIVER on the
touch screen, then press the SYSTEM SETUP button.
An on-screen display (OSD) appears on your TV. Use the
/ / / hard keys and ENTER on the remote control
to navigate through the screens and select menu items.
• The
/ (cursor up/down) hard keys select menu
items and the / (cursor left/right) hard keys
change the setting of the item selected.
3 Select ‘THX Audio Setup’ then press ENTER.
THX Ultra2 Subwoofer Setup
With some speaker setups, depending on the position of
the subwoofer and the walls in your listening area, you
may experience overly resonant frequencies in the bass.
If you have this problem use the THX Ultra2 subwoofer
setup to switch on boundary gain compensation (see
About THX® on page 109 for more on this).
1 Select ‘Ultra2 SW Setup’ from the THX Audio
Setup menu.
2 Specify whether your subwoofer is THX Ultra2
certified or not.
If your subwoofer isn’t THX Ultra2 certified, but you still
want to switch boundary gain compensation on, select
YES here, but the effect might not work properly.
3 Select either ON or OFF for the Boundary Gain
Compensation setting.
4 When you're finished, select RETURN and press
ENTER.
You will return to the THX Audio Setup menu.
Surround Back Speaker Position
For the most effective results when using the THX Ultra2
Cinema and THX MusicMode listening modes (see Using
the Home THX modes on page 45) with the Advanced
Speaker Array (ASA) system (see About THX® on
page 109), it is required that you make the setting below.
Note
• If you don't have surround back speakers, or just have
one, you won't be able to select this setting.
1 Select ‘SB SP Position’ from the THX Audio Setup
menu.
2 Specify the distance of your surround back
speakers from each other.
• 0–1 ft – Surround speakers within 1 foot apart (best
for THX surround sound).
• <1–4 ft – Surround speakers between 1 and 4 feet
apart.
• 4 ft< – Surround speakers more than 4 feet apart.
3 When you're finished, select RETURN and press
ENTER.
You will return to the THX Audio Setup menu.
