5.6 THX AUDIO SETUP
These settings will permit you to access the various THX parameters of the SSP-60. The SSP-60 features THX ULTRA2
processing which incorporates BGC (Boundary Gain Compression) and ASA (Advanced Speaker Array). The directional
characteristics of the new THX ULTRA2’s left, right, center and rear surround speakers have been revised to minimize any
changes in the perceived timbral balance over the widest possible listening area. Furthermore, ULTRA2 subwoofers now
have bass extension down to 20Hz, to reproduce in a much better fashion the very low frequency information increasingly
found in modern digital multi-channel recordings.
These displays show that you have accessed the THX Audio setup sub-menu and selected
the Bass limiter setup. You can scan through the available choices by pressing the \/ and
/\ buttons on the remote. When the selection you wish to adjust is highlighted press the <
or > key to scroll through the choices. To memorize and Exit, place the cursor beside Exit
and press the ENTER key.

5.6.1 Selecting “Bass limiter setup” and pressing Enter takes you to the Bass limiter setup submenu. In this submenu you
can enable the Bass limiter, adjust the limiting level (the loudness which the bass signal will not be allowed to
exceed), and listen to a noise signal at the selected level (to hear how loud the bass gets). These options allow
you to control the amount of bass level sent to your subwoofer so that excessive bass peaks (like explosions in a
movie or cannon shots in Tchaikovski’s 1812 overture) don’t damage your sub and don’t disturb the neighbors.
5.6.2 THX Ultra2 Sub option allows you to enable the THX ULTRA2 Sub mode if you have a THX-certified Subwoofer
installed in your system.
Boundary gain compensation (BGC) is used to counteract ‘BOOMY’ bass performance that can occur when the
sub(s) are near a wall. NOTE: THX ULTRA2 Sub has to be ON if you want to enable BGC.
5.6.3 ASA (Advanced Speaker Array) permits you to group the surround rear speakers together or to use them as two
separate channels. When used “together,” the same signal is available from both surround rear channels. To
select, simply place the cursor beside ‘Back speakers’ and use the > or < buttons on the remote to scroll to your
desired choice.
Please note that depending on the signal type and the mode of processing you will have to press either the THX button or
the MODE button to disable THX processing once it has been activated.
Please refer to Appendix D for details on which THX modes are applicable to each type of input signal, processing mode,
and speaker configuration.
