•

The Equalizer settings have no effect on 176.4/ 192

receiver/AV amplifier by using its [SETUP] button,

arrow buttons, and [ENTER] button.

THX Audio Setup

With the “Surr Back Sp Spacing” setting, you can spec-

ify the distance between your surround back speakers.

If you’re using a THX-certified subwoofer, set the “THX

Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer” setting to “Yes”. You can

then apply THX’s Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC)

to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low fre-

quencies for listeners sitting very close to a room bound-

ary (i.e., wall).

You can also set the THX Loudness Plus. When the

“Loudness Plus” is set to “On”, it is possible to enjoy

even subtle nuances of audio expression at low volume.

This result is only available when the THX listening

mode is selected.
