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
2kHz. 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
For the most effective results when using the THX Select2
Cinema and THX MusicMode listening modes (see Using
the Home THX modes
on page 27) with the Advanced
Speaker Array (ASA) system (see About THX on page 82),
it is required that you make the setting. See Placing the
speakers
on page 18 for more on THX speaker
placement.

1 Select ‘THX Audio Setting’ from the Manual SP
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, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
1 If the YES or PLUS setting on the subwoofer is selected (in Speaker Setting on page 42), the test tone will only play back from the subwoofer. If not, the
test tone will play back from the front and surround speakers set to LARGE.
2 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 27).
