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:

OFF, the frequency curve will be flat and

the X-Curve has no effect.

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 81),
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.

0.0 – 0.3m – Surround speakers within 30cm apart
(best for THX surround sound).

> 0.3 – 1.2m – Surround speakers between 30cm and
1.2m apart.

1.2m < – Surround speakers more than 1.2m apart.

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).
