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 
2kHz. 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.

THX Audio Setting
For the most effective results when using the THX Select2 
Cinema and THX MusicMode listening modes (see Using 
the Home THX modes
 on page 27) with the Advanced 
Speaker Array (ASA) system (see About THX on page 81), 
it is required that you make the setting. See Placing the 
speakers
 on page 18 for more on THX speaker 
placement.

1
Select ‘THX Audio Setting’ from the Manual SP 
Setup menu. 
2
Specify the distance of your surround back speakers 
from each other.
0.0 – 0.3m – Surround speakers within 30cm apart 
(best for THX surround sound).
> 0.3 – 1.2m – Surround speakers between 30cm and 
1.2m apart.
1.2m < – Surround speakers more than 1.2m apart.

When you're finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
1 If the 
YES or PLUS setting on the subwoofer is selected (in Speaker Setting on page 42), the test tone will only play back from the subwoofer. If not, the 
test tone will play back from the front and surround speakers set to 
LARGE.
2 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 27).
