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.

Important

• When Speaker Distance is selected while MCACC is

set to OFF, the selection screen for the MCACC
memory appears. Select a memory to adjust
manually.

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 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

Select ‘Return’, then press ENTER to finish.

THX Audio Setting

When the THX Loudness Plus function is used, sound
can be played with the full surround effect even when the
volume is low.

For the most effective results when using the THX
SELECT2 Cinema, THX SELECT2 Music and THX
SELECT2 Games listening modes (see Using the Home
THX modes
on page 31) with the Advanced Speaker Array
(ASA) system (see About THX on page 93), it is required
that you make the setting. See Placing the speakers on
page 22 for more on THX speaker placement.

1

Select ‘THX Audio Setting’ from the Manual SP

Setup menu.

2

Select either ON or OFF for THX Loudness Plus

setting.

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 31).
