Warning Messages

In the warning messages, abbreviations are used to iden- tify the speakers (e.g., “L” for left, “R” for right, and so on).

Not Detect:

The speaker was not detected. Make sure that it’s connected properly.

Distance Error:

The speaker is either too close or too far away, or the distance could not be measured. Reposition the speaker.

Changing the Speaker Settings Manually:

In some situations, the measurements taken by the auto- matic speaker setup may not provide usable results. If running the speaker setup a second time still doesn’t pro- vide usable results, you’ll have to set the speaker settings yourself (see pages 70–75).

Please note that any THX main speakers should be set to 80 Hz (THX). If you set up your speakers using Auto- matic Speaker Setup, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to 80 Hz (THX) in the Speaker Configuration setting (see pages 70, 71).

Sometimes due to the electrical complexities of sub- woofers and the interaction with the room, THX recom- mends setting the level and the distance of the subwoofer manually.

Using a Powered Subwoofer:

If you’re using a powered subwoofer, because it’s posi- tioned low down on the floor and outputting very low frequency sounds, its output may not be detected prop- erly. If the subwoofer (abbreviation “SW”) appears on the Warning screen under Not Detect, turn up the sub- woofer’s volume and run the automatic speaker setup again. If the subwoofer has a built-in crossover, set it to the highest crossover frequency. If it has an LPF filter switch, set it to off or direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.
