Advanced Setup—Continued

THX Audio Setup

These settings are not set automatically by the Auto- matic Speaker Setup function (see page 64).

With the “SurrBack Sp Spacing” setting, you can specify the distance between your surround back speakers. This setting is used by Speakers A and Speakers B.

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).

You can also set the THX Loudness Plus feature “On” or “Off”. When the “Loudness Plus” is set to “On”, it is possible to enjoy even subtle nuances of audio expres- sion at low volume.

This result is only available when the THX listening mode is selected.
