• Semi Auto – The X-Curve is calculated automatically.
The larger your listening area (as determined by the
speaker distance setting), the greater the X-Curve
slope (see the following step for more on this).
4 Check the X-Curve setting. If you selected
'Manual', make any adjustments necessary to the X-
Curve.
Use the (cursor left/right) hard keys 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
Room size (m )
X-Curve (dB/oct) –0.5
5 Select 'Return' then press ENTER to finish.
Note
• 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 45).
