Use the Up and Down [q]/[w] but- tons to select a frequency, and then use the Left and Right [e]/ [r] buttons to adjust the level at that frequency.

You can select: “63Hz”, “160Hz”, “400Hz”, “1000Hz”, “2500Hz”, “6300Hz”, or “16000Hz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”, “63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.

The volume at each frequency can be adjusted from –6 to +6 dB in 1 dB steps.

Tip:

Low frequencies (e.g., 160Hz) affect bass sounds; high frequencies (e.g., 6300Hz) affect treble sounds.

Use the Up and Down [q]/[w] but- tons to select “Channel”, and then use the Left and Right [e]/ [r] buttons to select another speaker.

Repeat step 6 and 7 for each speaker.

THX Audio Setup

These settings are not set automatically by the Auto- matic Speaker Setup function (see page 49).

With the “Surr Back Sp Spacing” setting, you can spec- ify the distance between your surround back speakers. If you’re using a THX-certified subwoofer, set the “THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer” setting to “Yes”. You can then apply THX’s Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC) to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low fre- quencies for listeners sitting very close to a room bound- ary (i.e., wall).

You can also set the THX Loudness Plus. When the “Loudness Plus” is set to “On”, it is possible to enjoy even subtle nuances of audio expression at low volume. This result is only available when the THX listening mode is selected.
