The System Setup and Other Setup menus
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.
Since the principal is the same, X-Curve isn’t applied when you’re using any of the Home THX, Pure direct or
Optimum surround modes.
1 Select ‘X-Curve’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.
2 Choose the X-Curve setting you want.
Use k/l to adjust the setting. The X-Curve is expressed as a downwards slope in decibels per octave, starting
at 2 kHz. 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:
Room size (ft
2
)
≤400 ≤550 ≤650 ≤800 ≤2200 ≤12000
X-Curve
(dB/oct)
–0.5 –1.0 –1.5 –2.0 –2.5 –3.0
! If you select OFF, the frequency curve will be flat and the X-Curve has no effect.
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
THX Audio Setting
This menu allows the user to adjust various THX features including Loudness Plus, SBch processing, THX Ultra2/
Select2 Subwoofer (on/off), and Boundary Gain Control. Please see page 116 for details regarding these THX

1 Select ‘THX Audio Setting’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

channel signals are present in the audio signals being input.

In case the router connected to the LAN terminal on this receiver is a broadband router (with a built-in DHCP
server function), simply turn on the DHCP server function, and you will not need to set up the network manually.
You must set up the network as described below only when you have connected this receiver to a broadband
router without a DHCP server function. Before you set up the network, consult with your ISP or the network man-
ager for the required settings. It is advised that you also refer to the operation manual supplied with your network
component.
! In case you make changes to the network configuration without the DHCP server function, make the corre-
sponding changes to the network settings of this receiver.

The IP address to be entered must be defined within the following ranges. If the IP address defined is beyond the
following ranges, you cannot play back audio files stored on components on the network or listen to Internet radio
