THX ASA/EX
The THX ASA and EX setup page allows the THX Advanced Speaker Array
and THX Surround EX modes to be adjusted. Available options for the
Advanced Speaker Array (ASA) mode are Ultra2 Cinema, THX MusicMode,
and Off. Ultra2 Cinema mode will be most appropriate for movie soundtracks
that are not Surround EX-encoded, while MusicMode will work best for multi-
channel music sources. The default setting for the ASA Mode menu is Ultra2
Cinema.
Available options for THX Surround EX are AUTO, ON, and OFF. In the AUTO
mode, THX Surround EX processing will occur when all Surround EX condi-
tions have been met, and the Dolby Digital bitstream contains the appropriate
flag to indicate that the soundtrack is Surround EX encoded. In the ON mode,
THX Surround EX processing will take place whenever all Surround EX condi-
tions have been met. In the OFF mode, THX Surround EX processing will not
take place even if the appropriate conditions are met. The default setting for
the Surround EX Mode menu is AUTO.
ASA and Surround EX adjustments can only be made when accessing 5.1
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks. These settings will only take effect when
the Stage One is configured with Surround Back speakers in the Speaker
Configuration menu.
TUNER
The Tuner page contains all the functions for control-
ling the built-in AM/FM tuner. AM and FM buttons are
provided to select the current band. Tuning Up and
Tuning Down buttons at the bottom of the page allow
for the frequency to be adjusted up and down. Ten
presets are available for each band, selected by the
buttons 1 through 10. Pressing and releasing the pre-
set button will tune the radio to the selected preset
station. Pressing and holding the preset button for
three seconds will store the currently selected station
as the preset.
SEPARATE VIDEO
The Separate Video switching page allows the video
input to be adjusted independently of the audio
source. This allows you to listen to one source, such
as the built-in tuner, while watching another.
SETUP
The setup page allows you to enter the Setup and
Advanced Setup menus and adjust the analog input
gain when necessary. Pressing Setup or Advanced
Setup will enter and exit the menus. The Up/Down,
Left/Right and OK buttons are used to navigate the
front panel menus. When accessing an analog input,
the analog input gain can be adjusted up and down
with the Input Gain + and – buttons. Pressing the Exit
Setup Menu button will change the remote control
back to the input selection screen.
ON-THE-FLY
The center channel and subwoofer levels can be
temporarily adjusted with the buttons on the On-the-
Fly page. These levels can be adjusted up or down to
compensate for differences in particular soundtracks.
The next time the mode is accessed, the settings
saved in memory will be loaded into the processor.
The need to continuously adjust the center channel
and subwoofer levels may be an indication that the
saved settings in the Level Settings menu are not cor-
rect.
DISPLAY
The Display page allows the front panel display to be
turned on and off, and the front panel lighting to be
turned On, Off, or set to Dim. The display setting will
revert back to the default ON setting the next time
the processor is turned on. The front panel lighting
setting is stored in memory.
