Note
• These settings cannot be calibrated when the AV receiver
is muted.
• Speakers that you set to "No" or "None" in
"Speaker Configuration" cannot be selected
• When the "Powered Zone 3" setting is set to "Yes"
(➔ page 65) while Powered Zone 2 is enabled
(➔ page 84), the surround back speakers cannot be used.
• When the "Speakers Type(Front)" setting is set to
"Bi-Amp" or "Digital Crossover" while Powered Zone 2 is
enabled (➔ page 84), the surround back speakers cannot
be used.
• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX, which
is 0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen
at volume settings below this, be careful because the test
tone will be much louder.
*1 For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings
made by using the Quick Setup are saved in this menu
(➔ page 59).
Tip
• If you're using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level
of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening
position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.
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.
■
Manual Equalizer
On:
You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker
manually. Continue with the following procedure:
1
Press to select "Channel", and then use
/ to select a speaker.
2
Use / to select a frequency, and then use
the / 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.
(➔ page 65).
Tip
• You can select: "63Hz", "160Hz", "400Hz", "1kHz",
"2.5kHz", "6.3kHz", or "16kHz". And for the subwoofer,
"25Hz", "40Hz", "63Hz", "100Hz", or "160Hz".
• Low frequencies (e.g., 63 Hz) affect bass sounds; high
frequencies (e.g., 16 kHz) affect treble sounds.
3
Use to select "Channel", and then use
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 65).
Off:
Tone off, response flat.
Note
• 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 71).

setting to "Yes".
Note

be selected (➔ page 65).
■
BGC
Off
On
If your listening room layout (for practical or aesthetic
reasons) locates most of the listeners close to the
rear wall, the resulting bass level can be sufficiently
reinforced by the boundary that the overall sound
becomes "boomy". THX Select2 Plus receivers
contain a Boundary Gain Compensation (BGC)
feature to improve bass balance.
Note
• This setting is only available if "THX Ultra2/Select2
Subwoofer" is set to "Yes".
• If the "Subwoofer" setting is set to "No", this setting cannot
be selected (➔ page 65).
■
Loudness Plus
Off
On
When the "Loudness Plus" setting is set to "On", it is
possible to enjoy even subtle nuances of audio
expression at low volume. This is only available when
the THX listening mode is selected.
