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.

You must set up the network as described below only when you have connected this receiver to a broadband router without a DHCP server function. Before you set up the network, consult with your ISP or the network manager for the required settings. It is advised that you also refer to the operation manual supplied with your network component.2 Note 1 Since the principal is the same, X-Curve isn't applied when you're using the Pure direct mode. 2 In case you make changes to the network configuration without the DHCP server function, make the corresponding changes to the network settings of this receiver. 108 En
