Equalizer Settings
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of
speakers individually with a 15-band equalizer. The
volume of each speaker can be set.
■ 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 69).
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 63).
–“Surround Back Ch” is set to “1ch” (➔ page 64).
■ 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 63).
■ BGC
` Off
` On
If your listening room layout (for practical or aesthetic
reasons) locates most of the listeners close to the
rear wall, the resulting bass level can be sufficiently
reinforced by the boundary that the overall sound
becomes “boomy”. THX Ultra2 Plus controllers
contain a Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC)
feature to improve bass balance.
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 63).
■ 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”.
THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control
technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX
Select2 Plus™ Certified controllers. With THX
Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can now
experience the rich details in a surround mix at any
volume level. A consequence of turning the volume
below Reference Level is that certain sound elements
can be lost or perceived differently by the listener.
THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and
spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced
by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel
levels and frequency response. This enables users
experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless
of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is
automatically applied when listening in any THX
listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music,
and THX Games modes are tailored to apply the
proper THX Loudness Plus settings for each type of
content.
1
Press w to select “Channel”, and then use
e/r to select a speaker.
2
Use q/w to select a frequency, and then use
the e/r 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: “25Hz”, “40Hz”, “63Hz”, “100Hz”,
