Equalizer Settings
With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of
speakers individually with a 7-band equalizer. The volume
of each speaker can be set
■
Equalizer
Manual:
You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker
manually. Continue with the following procedure:
1
Press w to select "Channel", and then use
e/r to select a speaker.
2
Use q/w to select a frequency, and then use
the e/r to adjust the level at that frequency.
The volume at each frequency can be adjusted
from –6dB to 0dB to +6dB in 1 dB steps.
Tip
• Low frequencies (e.g., 63 Hz) affect bass sounds;
high frequencies (e.g., 16000 Hz) affect treble
sounds.
3
Use q to select "Channel", and then use e/r
to select another speaker.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker.
You cannot select speakers that you set to "No"
or "None" in the "Speaker Configuration"
(➔ page 48).
Off:
Tone off, response flat.
Note
• You can select: "63Hz", "160Hz", "400Hz", "1000Hz",
"2500Hz", "6300Hz", or "16000Hz". And for the subwoofer,
"25Hz", "40Hz", "63Hz", "100Hz", or "160Hz".
• When the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the
equalizer settings have no effect.
• If "Audyssey" is enabled, it prevails over this setting
(➔ page 53).

THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control
technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX
Select2 Plus™ Certified receivers. With THX Loudness
Plus, home theater audiences can now experience the
rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. A
consequence of turning the volume below Reference
Level is that certain sound elements can be lost or
perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness
Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that
occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently
adjusting ambient surround channel levels and
frequency response. This enables users experience the
true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume
setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied
when listening in any THX listening mode. The new
THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX Games modes are
tailored to apply the proper THX Loudness Plus settings
for each type of content.
