Speaker Distance
For good sound depth and separation from your system, 
you need to specify the distance of your speakers from 
the listening position. The receiver can then add the 
proper delay needed for effective surround sound.
1
Select ‘Speaker Distance’ from the Manual SP 
Setup menu. 
 
2
Adjust the distance of each speaker using 
/.
You can adjust the distance of each speaker in 1/2 inch 
increments.
3
When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
 Tip
• For best surround sound, make sure the surround 
back speakers are the same distance from the 
listening position.
X-Curve
Most soundtracks mixed for cinema sound too bright 
when played back in large rooms. The X-Curve setting acts 
as a kind of re-equalization for home theater listening, and 
restores proper tonal balance of movie soundtracks.

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:
• If  you  select  OFF, the frequency curve will be flat and 
the X-Curve has no effect.
3
When you’re finished, press RETURN.
THX Audio Setting
This menu allows the user to adjust various THX features 
including Loudness Plus, SB Speaker Position, THX 
Select2 Subwoofer (on/off), and Boundary Gain Control. 
Please see page 109 for a details regarding these THX 
features.
1
Select  ‘THX Audio Setting’ from the Manual SP 
setup menu. 
2
Select either ON or OFF for THX Loudness Plus 
setting.
3
Specify the distance of your surround back speakers 
from each other.
• 0–1 ft – Surround back speakers within 1 foot apart 
(best for THX surround sound).
• >1– 4 ft – Surround back speakers between 1 and 4 
feet apart.
• 4 ft< – Surround back speakers more than 4 feet 
apart (default).
Note
1 Since  the  principal is the same, X-Curve isn’t applied when you’re using any of the Home THX modes (see Using the Home THX modes on 
page 57).
