With the Surr Back Sp Spacing setting, you can specify the distance between your surround back speakers.

If you’re using a THX-certified subwoofer, set the THX Subwoofer setting to Yes. You can then apply THX’s Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC) to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low frequencies for listeners sitting very close to a room boundary (i.e., wall).
