THX Audio Setup
With the “
Surr Back Speaker Spacing
” setting, you can
specify the distance between your surround back speakers.
If you’re using a THX-certified subwoofer, set the “
THX
Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer
” setting to “
Yes
”. You can
then apply THX’s Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC)
to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low frequen-
cies for listeners sitting very close to a room boundary
(i.e., wall).
You can also set the THX Loudness Plus. When the
“
Loudness Plus
” is set to “
On
”, it is possible to enjoy
even subtle nuances of audio expression at low volume.
This result is only available when the THX listening mode
is selected.
