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.
