2 Choose the X-Curve setting you want.
Use to adjust the setting. The X-Curve is expressed
as a downwards slope in decibels per octave, starting at
2kHz. The sound becomes less bright as the slope
increases (to a maximum of -3.0dB/oct). Use the
following guidelines to set the X-Curve according to your
room size:
2
≤ ≤ ≤ ≤ 36 ≤ ≤ ≤ ≤ 48
Room size (m )
X-Curve (dB/oct) –0.5 –1
• If you select OFF, the frequency curve will be flat and
the X-Curve has no effect.
3 Select 'Return' then press ENTER to finish.
Note
1 If the YES or PLUS setting on the subwoofer is selected (in Speaker Setting on page 42), the test tone will only play back from the subwoofer. If not, the
test tone will play back from the front and surround speakers set to LARGE.
2 Since the principal is the same, X-Curve isn't applied when you're using any of the Home THX modes (see Using the Home THX modes on page 27).
3 If you don't have surround back speakers, or just have one, you won't be able to select this setting (Cannot select shows in the display).
