Highlighting BASS MANAGEMENT-MOVIE then pressing SELECT displays this menu:
Skip items a. to l. if using Anthem Room Correction on all sources.
Advanced Settings:
The default is Off. Use of advanced settings is described later in this section.
Small or Large:
Most speakers should be set to Small and used with a subwoofer unless they use large drivers that play deep
bass and LFE accurately. Even then, the question is which speaker can produce deeper and cleaner bass at
higher output? It’s almost always the subwoofer, which has the advantage of flexible positioning in the room
to help control boominess. All THX certified speakers are designed for Small setting.
Subwoofer:
• 1 Sub The subwoofer plays two things – LFE and bass from channels set to Small. This setting
is preferred by THX.
Use this setting with ARC when using one or more subwoofers.
• 1 Super As above except bass from all channels is included, not just the ones set to Small. This
setting is not recommended for the Movie configuration.
• 2 Subs or 2 Supers – Select if using both subwoofer outputs and not using ARC. This simply reduces
the subwoofer channel’s test noise level to compensate for the additional subwoofer.
“None” setting for:
• CENTER – the center channel plays from the L/R fronts.
• SURROUNDS – the L-Surround channel plays from the L-Front channel and the R-Surround channel
plays from the R-Front channel (except Dolby Pro Logic modes).
• REARS – the rear channels on sources having them play from the surrounds.
• SUBWOOFER – the subwoofer channel plays from L/R fronts (forced to Large) and surrounds.
If you are using 5.1 speakers, use the SURROUND outputs and set REARS to None so no sound is lost!
