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.1

1Select ‘X-Curve’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

2Choose the X-Curve setting you want.

Use / 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 (ft2)	≤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.
