Advanced Setup – Part 2

Parameters

Large:

Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce

deep bass well below 80 Hz.

Yes / No:

Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when a

subwoofer is not installed.

Small:

Select this when using speakers that are not capable of

handling deep bass well below 80 Hz. Most home theater

main and surround speakers perform best when configured

as SMALL. Deep bass content in any channel with a

SMALL speaker is routed to the subwoofer(s).

None:

Select this when no speakers are installed.

2spkrs / 1spkr:

Select the number of speakers to be used for the surround

back channel.

A subwoofer with sufficient low frequency playback

capability can better handle deep bass than most main and

surround speakers, and the system’s overall performance

will be greatly enhanced when SMALL is set for the main

(front) and surround speakers.

To take full advantage of the performance of the Home THX

certified speaker systems, set the front, center and

surround speaker size parameters to “Small” and the

subwoofer to “Yes”.

For the majority of speaker system configurations, using

the SMALL setting for all main and surround speakers and

connected subwoofer(s) set to ON will yield the best

results.

When “Front” is set to “Small”, “Subwoofer” is

automatically set to “Yes”, and when “Subwoofer” is set

to “No”, “Front” is automatically set to “Large”.

LFE–THX–:

For any channel(s) that are set to LARGE, low

frequencies in that channel’s corresponding source

are directed to that loudspeaker only. Low

frequencies that are directed to the subwoofer(s)

are from the program source LFE channel, and

from other channels where the speakers are set to

SMALL. THX recommends this mode so that bass

interference is less likely to occur in the room.

LFE+Main:

Low frequencies from speaker channels that have

been set to LARGE are reproduced from those

speakers as well as from the subwoofer(s).

Depending upon the characteristics of the LARGE

main speakers, this mode may provide a more even

low frequency response throughout the listening

room.

•

Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of

the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for

playing low frequency (bass sound below the frequency set

for the Crossover Frequency) signals. If you do not know, try

comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to

a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to

determine the proper setting.
