X-Curve

Most soundtracks mixed for cinema sound too bright when played back in large rooms. The X-Curve setting acts as a kind of re-equalization for home theater listening, and restores proper tonal balance of movie soundtracks.1

1Select ‘X-Curve’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

2Choose the X-Curve setting you want.

Use /to adjust the setting. The X-Curve is expressed as a downwards slope in decibels per octave, starting at 2 kHz. The sound becomes less bright as the slope increases (to a maximum of –3.0dB/oct). Use the following guidelines to set the X-Curve according to your room size:

Room size (ft2)

≤400

≤550

≤650

≤800

≤2200

≤12000

X-Curve (dB/oct)

–0.5

–1.0

–1.5

–2.0

•Network Standby – Allows the Web Control function to be used even when the receiver is in the standby mode (page 86).

IP address/Proxy setting

In case the router connected to the LAN terminal on this receiver is a broadband router (with a built-in DHCP server function), simply turn on the DHCP server function, and you will not need to set up the network manually. You must set up the network as described below only when you have connected this receiver to a broadband router without a DHCP server function. Before you set up the network, consult with your ISP or the network manager for the required settings. It is advised that you also refer to the operation manual supplied with your network component.2

Note

1Since the principal is the same, X-Curve isn’t applied when you’re using any of the Home THX or Pure direct modes.

2In case you make changes to the network configuration without the DHCP server function, make the corresponding changes to the network settings of this receiver.
