2 Choose 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)

•If you select OFF, the frequency curve will be flat and the X-Curve has no effect.

3 Select ‘Return’ then press ENTER to finish.

THX Audio Setting

For the most effective results when using the THX Select2 Cinema and THX MusicMode listening modes (see Using the Home THX modes on page 28) with the Advanced Speaker Array (ASA) system (see About THX on page 85), it is required that you make the setting. See Placing the speakers on page 18 for more on THX speaker
