Operating from the main remote control unit
Adjusting with the main remote control unit using the test tones is
only possible in the “Auto” mode and only effective in the STANDARD
(Dolby/DTS Surround) and HOME THX CINEMA modes. The adjusted
levels for the different modes are automatically stored in the
memory.
GAdjusting using test tonesH
q Press the TEST button.
Test tones are output from the various speakers.
w Use the o p button to adjust so that the volume is equal for all
speakers.
e When the adjustments are completed, press the TEST button
again.
• The level of each channel should be adjusted to 75 dB (Cweighted,
slow meter mode) on a sound level meter at the listening position. If
a sound level meter is not available adjust the channels by ear so the
sound levels are the same. Because adjusting the subwoofer level
test tone by ear is difficult, use a well known music selection and
adjust for natural balance.
• Speakers set to “None” in the “Speaker Configuration” settings are
not displayed.
• When “Channel Level” is adjusted, the adjusted values are set for
all the surround modes. To adjust the channel level separately for
the different surround modes, use the operation see mpage 65

Only the portion of the bass sound of the various speakers output
from the subwoofer that has a frequency below the frequency set
here is output.
Set this according to the low frequency reproduction capabilities of the
speakers you are using.
Advanced
:
Specify crossover frequency for each speaker.
• Please set all THX Certified speakers, set the “Speaker Configuration”
for all speakers to “Small”. We recommend using with the crossover
frequency set to “FIXED–THX–”, but depending on the speaker,
setting it to a different frequency may improve frequency response
near the crossover frequency.
• The “Crossover Frequency” can be set when there are speakers
that have been set to “Small” at GUI menu “Speaker Configuration”
or when “Subwoofer” is set to “Yes” (vpage 23).
• At the “Advanced” settings, if the “Subwoofer Setup” (vpage 24)
setting is set to “LFE–THX–”, GUI menu speakers for which “Speaker
Configuration” is set to “Small” can be set. If set to “LFE+Main”,
the setting can be made regardless of the speaker size.
• For speakers set to “Small”, sound below the crossover frequency
is cut from the sound output. The cut bass sound is output from the
subwoofer or front speakers.
h THX Audio Setup
Set the speaker to play the optimal THX surround mode.
THX Ultra2 Subwoofer
Set when using a subwoofer compatible with THX Ultra2 standards or
a subwoofer that can be properly played at low range.
[Selectable items]
Yes
No
Make these settings when “Yes” is selected for the subwoofer in the
“Speaker Configuration” settings. This option is not available when
“No” is selected (vpage 23).
BGC (Boundary Gain Compensation)
If bass sound feels big compensate by lowering volume.
[Selectable items]
ON
OFF
• If the bass sound seems too strong:
Set “BGC” to “ON”. This activates a filter that gently reduces very
deep bass below 55 Hz to provide the flattest overall deep bass
response. Select “ON” or “OFF” according to how strong you prefer
the deep bass response to be.
• This can be set when the “THX Ultra2 Subwoofer” setting is set to
“Yes”.
SB Speaker Position
Set the distance between the left and right surround back speakers.
[Selectable items]
Under 0.3m
0.3m – 1.2m
Over 1.2m
• When two surround back speakers have been set in “Speaker
Configuration” (vpage 23), set the distance of the speakers. This
option is not available when “1spkr” is selected.
• This setting is necessary to achieve the optimum effect in the THX
Surround EX, THX Ultra2 Cinema, THX Music mode and THX Games
mode.
