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.
Since the principal is the same, X-Curve isn’t
applied when you’re using any of the Home
THX, Pure direct or Optimum surround modes.
1 Select ‘X-Curve’ from the
Manual SP Setup menu.
2 Choose the X-Curve setting you want.
Use k / l to adjust the setting. The X-Curve
is expressed as a downwards slope in deci-
bels 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:
Room size (ft
2
)
≤ 400 ≤ 550 ≤ 650 ≤ 800 ≤ 2200 ≤ 12000
X-Curve
(dB/oct)
–0.5 –1.0 –1.5 –2.0 –2.5 –3.0
! If you select
OFF
, the frequency curve will be
flat and the X-Curve has no effect.
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
