THX Ultra2 Subwoofer Setup

With some speaker setups, depending on the position of the subwoofer and the walls in your listening area, you may experience overly resonant frequencies in the bass. If you have this problem use the THX Ultra2 subwoofer setup to switch on boundary gain compensation (see About THX® on page 109 for more on this).

1Select ‘Ultra2 SW Setup’ from the THX Audio Setup menu.

2Specify whether your subwoofer is THX Ultra2 certified or not.

If your subwoofer isn’t THX Ultra2 certified, but you still want to switch boundary gain compensation on, select YES here, but the effect might not work properly.

3Select either ON or OFF for the Boundary Gain Compensation setting.

4When you're finished, select RETURN and press

ENTER.

You will return to the THX Audio Setup menu.

Surround Back Speaker Position

For the most effective results when using the THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX MusicMode listening modes (see Using the Home THX modes on page 45) with the Advanced Speaker Array (ASA) system (see About THX® on page 109), it is required that you make the setting below.

Note

•If you don't have surround back speakers, or just have one, you won't be able to select this setting.

1Select ‘SB SP Position’ from the THX Audio Setup menu.

2Specify the distance of your surround back speakers from each other.

•0–1 ft – Surround speakers within 1 foot apart (best for THX surround sound).

•<1–4 ft – Surround speakers between 1 and 4 feet apart.

•4 ft< – Surround speakers more than 4 feet apart.

3When you're finished, select RETURN and press

ENTER.

You will return to the THX Audio Setup menu.
