The X-Curve setting acts as a kind of re-equalization for home theater listening, and restores proper tonal balance of movie soundtracks.1 1 Select 'X-Curve' from the Manual SP Setup menu. 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) -0.5 -1.0 -1.5 -2.0 -2.5 -3.0 • If you select OFF, the frequency curve will be flat and the X-Curve has no effect. 3 When you're finished, press RETURN.
