THX Audio Setup Sub-menu

This is for setting up a home theater with a THX-Ultra2
compliant speaker system. These settings will be
effective in the listening mode for the THX Ultra2
Cinema and THX Music Mode. The settings in the THX
Audio Setup sub-menu can be configured for both
"Main A" and "Main B."
THX Ultra2 Subwoofer A/
THX Ultra2 Subwoofer B
This is for setting the connected subwoofer. Select
"Yes" or "No" according to your subwoofer's
specification.
Yes: Set "Yes" if your subwoofer conforms to the THX
Ultra2 standard or if the playback capability of its bass
range extends down to 20 Hz. Otherwise, set "No."
No (Default): Set "No" if you use any subwoofer that
does not fit the conditions above.
• For any speaker that is not available or set to "Not
Used" in the Speaker Configuration sub-menu, no
associated setting item is displayed.
Boundary Gain Compensation A/
Boundary Gain Compensation B
This is for setting the correction of boundary gains.
This item can be set when "THX Ultra2 Subwoofer" is
set to "Yes."
Room boundaries (walls) or other characteristics (such
as construction materials) may increase the perceived
acoustics levels at low frequencies. Depending on the
listener's and the subwoofer's position, the listener may
experience an excessive bass effect.
The purpose of this feature is to compensate for
excessive bass resulting from a boundary gain effect.
On: Boundary Gain Compensation is applied.
Off (Default): Boundary Gain Compensation is not
applied.
Distance Between Surr Back A SP/
Distance Between Surr Back B SP
This setting is allowed only when "Main 2ch" is
selected from the Speaker Configuration sub-menu.
Place two surround back speakers as close together as
possible, measure the distance, and set the value (See
the figure). The maximum effects will be realized by
THX's ASA* technology.
0-1 ft (0-0.3 m)(Default): This is the setting when the
distance between the speakers is 0-1 foot (0-30 cm).
1-4 ft (0.3-1.2 m): This is the setting when the distance
between speakers is 1-4 feet (30 cm-1.2 m).
>4 ft (1.2 m): This is the setting when the distance
between speakers is 4 feet (1.2 m) or more.
* ASA: Advanced Speaker Array

Audio Output Assign Sub-menu

This setting allocates audio output jacks on the
TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E to input (play) sources. The
setting varies depending on the connection conditions.
The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E is equipped with
analog output jacks for five lines, and digital output
jacks: optical jacks (OPT) for two lines, and coaxial
jacks (COAX) for two lines. If setting the analog jacks
to "Zone 2 Out" or "Zone 3 Out," you can also specify
whether output should be variable or fixed.
The default settings are as follows:
Terminals
Analog 1 (AUDIO OUT 1)
Analog 2 (AUDIO OUT 2)
Analog 3 (AUDIO OUT 3)
Analog 4 (AUDIO OUT 4)
Analog 5 (AUDIO OUT 5)
Opt 1 Out (DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL 1)
Opt 2 Out (DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL 2)
Coax 1 Out (DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL 1) Video 1 Rec Out
Coax 2 Out (DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL 2) Zone 2 Out
