Equalizer Settings
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of
speakers individually with a 5-band equalizer. The volume
of each speaker can be set (
➔ page 53 ).
■ Manual Equalizer
` On:
You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker
manually. Continue with the following procedure:
` Off :
Tone off, response flat.
Note
• When the Direct listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings
have no effect.
• If “Audyssey” is enabled, it prevails over this setting
( ➔ page 57 ).
THX Audio Setup
■ Surr Back Speaker Spacing
` <1ft (<0.3m)
` 1ft-4ft (0.3m-1.2m)
` >4ft (>1.2m)
You can specify the distance between your surround back
speakers.
Note
• Cannot be set if:
– “Surround Back” is set to “None” ( ➔ page 52 ).
– “Surround Back Ch” is set to “1ch” ( ➔ page 52 ).
– “Powered Zone 2” is set to “Yes” ( ➔ page 52 ) and Zone 2
turned on ( ➔ page 69 ).
■ THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer
` No
` Yes
If you’re using a THX-certified subwoofer, set this setting
to “Yes”.
Note
• If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No”, this setting cannot be
selected ( ➔ page 52 ).
■ BGC
` Off
` On
You can apply THX’s Boundary Gain Compensation
(BGC) to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low
frequencies for listeners sitting very close to a room
boundary (i.e., wall).
Note
• This setting is only available if “THX Ultra2/Select2
Subwoofer” is set to “Yes”.
• If the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “No”, this setting cannot be
selected ( ➔ page 52 ).
■ Loudness Plus
` Off
` On
When the “Loudness Plus” setting is set to “On”, it is
possible to enjoy even subtle nuances of audio expression
at low volume. This is only available when the THX
listening mode is selected.
■ Preserve THX Settings
` Yes
` No
If this setting is set to “Yes”, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic
Volume have no effect in THX listening mode.
Note
• This setting is fixed at “Yes” if “Loudness Plus” is set to “On”.
■ Metadata Compatible
` On:
When Metadata Compatible is set to “On”, valid
metadata is transmitted via the HDMI connections,
and can be used by other devices in the system.
` Off:
When Metadata Compatible is set to “Off”, metadata
is not transmitted via the HDMI connections.
The HDMI connection in your system is used to deliver
uncompressed digital audio and video information from
one device to the next. There is also additional information
about this digital content that can be delivered. Such
additional information is referred to as “metadata”.
Metadata Compatible mode should be used when there are
home theater components in your system, such as Blu-ray
disc players, set top boxes and displays that use this
additional metadata. For example, Metadata Compatible
mode should be set to ON when there are THX Media
Director™ Enabled devices in the system. This ensures
that this additional information can be received by your
Onkyo AVR and can be sent to other devices that are
connected in your home theater system, with no
interruption.
1 Press to select “Channel”, and then use / to
select a speaker.
2 Use / to select a frequency, and then use the /
to adjust the level at that frequency.
The volume at each frequency can be adjusted from
–6dB to 0dB to +6dB in 1 dB steps.
Tip
• You can select: “63Hz”, “250Hz”, “1000Hz”, “4000Hz”, or
“16000Hz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”,
“63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.
• Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high
frequencies (e.g., 16000Hz) affect treble sounds.
3 Use to select “Channel”, and then use / to
select another speaker.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker.
You cannot select speakers that you set to “No” or
“None” in the “Speaker Configuration”
(
