Changing the Speaker Settings Manually

In some cases, the measurements taken by the automatic speaker setup may not provide usable results. If running the speaker setup a second time doesn’t help, you’ll have to set the speaker settings manually (see pages 86–91).

Notes:

For THX-certified speakers, the 80 Hz (THX) cross- over frequency is recommended. If you use the auto- matic speaker setup, you’ll need to manually select 80 Hz (THX) for each THX-certified speaker (see page 86).

Because of the complexities of low-frequency sounds and the way they interact with a room, THX recom- mends setting the subwoofer level and distance manu- ally.

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer, as it outputs very low-frequency sound and its position is usually low down, it may not be detected by the automatic speaker setup. In this case, increase the subwoofer’s volume, select its highest crossover frequency, and then try run- ning the automatic speaker setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, it may not be detected, so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.
