Yes
If you're using a THX-certified subwoofer, set this setting

You can apply THX's Boundary Gain Compensation
(BGC) to compensate the perceived exaggeration of low
frequencies for listeners sitting very close to a room
boundary (i.e., wall).
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

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.
■
Preserve THX Settings
Yes
No
If this setting is set to "Yes", Dynamic EQ and Dynamic
Volume have no effect in THX listening mode.
Note
• This setting is fixed at "Yes" if "Loudness Plus" is set to "On".

Metadata Compatible
On:
When Metadata Compatible is set to "On", valid
metadata is transmitted via the HDMI connections,
and can be used by other devices in the system.
Off:
When Metadata Compatible is set to "Off", metadata
is not transmitted via the HDMI connections.
The HDMI connection in your system is used to deliver
uncompressed digital audio and video information from
one device to the next. There is also additional information
about this digital content that can be delivered. Such
additional information is referred to as "metadata".
Metadata Compatible mode should be used when there are
home theater components in your system, such as Blu-ray
disc players, set top boxes and displays that use this
additional metadata. For example, Metadata Compatible
mode should be set to ON when there are THX Media
Director™ Enabled devices in the system. This ensures
that this additional information can be received by your
Integra AVR and can be sent to other devices that are
connected in your home theater system, with no
interruption.

Advanced Operations
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.
