Advanced Setup – Part 2

2Assignment of low frequency signal range

•The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency signal range of channels set to “Small” in the setup menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set to “Large” are produced from those channels.

2Subwoofer Setup

•The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when and “Yes” is set for the subwoofer in the “Speaker Configuration”

settings ( page 140, 141).

•When the input signal is analog or a PCM signal not including LFE signals, if “LFE–THX–” is selected, the low frequency component is not output from the subwoofer. To output the subwoofer channel, select “LFE+Main”.

Setting the Delay Time

•This parameter is for optimizing the timing with which the audio signals are produced from the speakers and subwoofer according to the listening position.

•Two surround back speakers are required to use the THX Ultra2 Cinema, THX Music mode and THX Games mode. Set the surround back speakers so that the distance to the listening position is the same for both the left and right speakers.

It is also recommended that the deviations of the distance from the listening position to L and R channel speakers (front left (FL) and front right (FR), surround left (SL) and surround right (SR), surround back left (SBL) and surround back right (SBR)) is less than 2 ft (60 cm).

Preparations:

Measure the distances between the listening position and the speakers (L1 to L11 on the diagram at the below).
