1000Hz”, “2500Hz”, “6300Hz”, or “16000Hz”. And for the subwoofer, “25Hz”, “40Hz”, “63Hz”, “100Hz”, or “160Hz”.

THX Audio Setup

With the “Surr Back Speaker Spacing” setting, you can specify 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 frequen- cies for listeners sitting very close to a room boundary (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.
