Speaker/Output Setup—Continued

THX Audio Setup Sub-menu

This is for setting up a home theater with a THX-Ultra2 compliant speaker system. These settings will be effective in the listening mode for the THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music Mode. The settings in the THX Audio Setup sub-menu can be configured for both “Main A” and “Main B.”

THX Ultra2 Subwoofer A/

THX Ultra2 Subwoofer B

This is for setting the connected subwoofer. Select “Yes” or “No” according to your subwoofer’s specification.

Yes: Set “Yes” if your subwoofer conforms to the THX Ultra2 standard or if the playback capability of its bass range extends down to 20 Hz. Otherwise, set “No.” No (Default): Set “No” if you use any subwoofer that does not fit the conditions above.

•For any speaker that is not available or set to “Not Used” in the Speaker Configuration sub-menu, no associated setting item is displayed.

Boundary Gain Compensation A/

Boundary Gain Compensation B

This is for setting the correction of boundary gains. This item can be set when “THX Ultra2 Subwoofer” is set to “Yes.”

Room boundaries (walls) or other characteristics (such as construction materials) may increase the perceived acoustics levels at low frequencies. Depending on the listener’s and the subwoofer’s position, the listener may experience an excessive bass effect.

The purpose of this feature is to compensate for excessive bass resulting from a boundary gain effect. On: Boundary Gain Compensation is applied.

Off (Default): Boundary Gain Compensation is not applied.

Distance Between Surr Back A SP/

Distance Between Surr Back B SP

This setting is allowed only when “Main 2ch” is selected from the Speaker Configuration sub-menu. Place two surround back speakers as close together as possible, measure the distance, and set the value (See the figure). The maximum effects will be realized by THX’s ASA* technology.

0-1 ft (0-0.3 m)(Default): This is the setting when the distance between the speakers is 0-1 foot (0-30 cm).

1-4 ft (0.3-1.2 m): This is the setting when the distance between speakers is 1-4 feet (30 cm-1.2 m).

>4 ft (1.2 m): This is the setting when the distance between speakers is 4 feet (1.2 m) or more. *ASA: Advanced Speaker Array

Audio Output Assign Sub-menu

This setting allocates audio output jacks on the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E to input (play) sources. The setting varies depending on the connection conditions. The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E is equipped with analog output jacks for five lines, and digital output jacks: optical jacks (OPT) for two lines, and coaxial jacks (COAX) for two lines. If setting the analog jacks to “Zone 2 Out” or “Zone 3 Out,” you can also specify whether output should be variable or fixed.

The default settings are as follows:

Terminals	Default input settings
Analog 1 (AUDIO OUT 1)	Video 1 Rec Out
Analog 2 (AUDIO OUT 2)	Video 2 Rec Out
Analog 3 (AUDIO OUT 3)	Video 3 Rec Out
Analog 4 (AUDIO OUT 4)	Zone 2 Out
Analog 5 (AUDIO OUT 5)	Zone 3 Out
Opt 1 Out (DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL 1)	Tape 1 Rec Out
Opt 2 Out (DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL 2)	Tape 2 Rec Out
Coax 1 Out (DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL 1)	Video 1 Rec Out
Coax 2 Out (DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL 2)	Zone 2 Out

Analog 1-5

Set the analog audio output jacks of “AUDIO OUT 1-5.” You can select from Tape 1 Rec Out, Tape 2 Rec Out, Video 1 Rec Out, Video 2 Rec Out, Video 3 Rec Out, Zone 2 Out, Zone 3 Out, and Not Used.

When input (REC) of a sound recording device (e.g., a cassette deck) with TAPE 1 as an input source is connected to AUDIO OUT 1, set “Analog 1” to “Tape 1 Rec Out.”

Example 2:

When sound input of a picture recording device (e.g., a VCR) with VIDEO 1 as an input source is connected to AUDIO OUT 2, set “Analog 2” to “Video 1 Rec Out.”

Example 3:

When the amplifier for Zone 2 is connected to AUDIO OUT 5, set “Analog 5” to “Zone 2 Out.”

When nothing is connected: Select “Not Used.”
