Equalizer Settings This setting is set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ 29). With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of speakers individually with a 7-band equalizer. The volume of each speaker can be set (➔ 46). ■ Equalizer ` Manual: You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker manually. If you selected "Manual", continue with this procedure. 1 Press X to select "Channel", and then use F/ S to select a speaker. 2 Use R/X to select a frequency, and then use the F/S to adjust the level at that frequency. The volume at each frequency can be adjusted from -6dB to 0dB to +6dB in 1 dB steps. Note • You can select: "63Hz", "160Hz", "400Hz", "1000Hz", "2500Hz", "6300Hz", or "16000Hz". And for the subwoofer, "25Hz", "40Hz", "63Hz", "100Hz", or "160Hz". • While the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings have no effect. Tip • Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high frequencies (e.g., 16000Hz) affect treble sounds. 3 Use R to select "Channel", and then use F/S to select another speaker. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker. You cannot select speakers that you set to "No" or "None" in the "Speaker Configuration" (➔ 45). ` Audyssey: This is selected automatically by Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function. The Audyssey indicator will light (➔ 9) and "Dynamic EQ" and "Dynamic Volume" become available (➔ 49). ` Off: Tone off, response flat. THX Audio Setup With the "Surr Back Speaker Spacing" setting, you can specify 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 frequencies for listeners sitting very close to a room boundary (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. ■ Surr Back Speaker Spacing ` < 1ft (< 0.3m): Select this if your surround back speakers are between 0 and 1 foot (0-30 cm) apart. ` 1ft - 4ft (0.3m - 1.2m): Select this if your surround back speakers are between 1 and 4 feet (0.3-1.2 m) apart. ` > 4ft (> 1.2m): Select this if your surround back speakers are more than 4 feet (1.2 m) apart. Note • Cannot be set if "Surr Back Ch" is set to "1ch" (➔ 46), "Speakers Type(Front)" is set to "Bi-Amp" (➔ 45), "Surr Back" is set to "None" (➔ 45), or Powered Zone 2 is being used (➔ 70). ■ THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer ` No: Select this if you do not have a THX-certified subwoofer. ` Yes: Select this if you have a THX-certified subwoofer. Note • If the "Subwoofer" setting is set to "No", this setting cannot be selected (➔ 45). ■ BGC ` Off: Select this to turn off BGC. ` On: Select this to turn on BGC.
