BGC (BOUNDARY GAIN COMPENSATION)
SETUP SPEAKERS
CUSTOM SETUP
SETUP SPEAKERS THX SETUP
Adjusts boundary gain compensation when the CUSTOM and THX
SETUP menu THX ULTRA2 SUB parameter is set to ON. When the
BGC parameter is set to ON, a highpass 55Hz filter is applied to all
audio output connectors for all Main Zone listening modes. When set
to OFF, no filter is applied to Main Zone listening modes and audio
output connectors. When the parameter setting is N/A, the THX
ULTRA2 SUB parameter is set to OFF, and boundary gain compen-
sation cannot be adjusted.
Note:
BGC compensates for increased bass energy that is caused by the
proximity of the speakers to the listening room walls.

ASA (ADVANCED SPEAKER ARRAY)
SETUP SPEAKERS
CUSTOM SETUP
SETUP SPEAKERS THX SETUP
A proprietary THX technology that processes signals sent to the rear
speakers, optimizing the listening experience for THX Ultra2 listening
modes. To maximize the effectiveness of ASA processing, it is recom-
mended that you configure a 7-channel speaker setup in which the
rear speakers are placed close together facing the center of the
listening space. The ASA parameter is not available unless the 5.1
THX ULTRA2, 5.1 THX MUSIC, DTS THX ULTRA2 or DTS THX
MUSIC listening mode is activated.
Select the TOGETHER setting if the distance between the rear
speakers is less than 1 foot (0.3m). Select the CLOSE setting if the
distance between the rear speakers is greater than 1 foot (0.3m), but
less than 4 feet (1.2m). Select the APART setting if the distance
between the rear speakers is greater than 4 feet (1.2m).
Note:
ASA processing is only available when both side and rear speakers are
present.
When the remote control 7/5 button is used to toggle between 7 and
5-channel playback:
• ASA processing is not available during 5-channel playback.
• The RV-8 automatically switches between the 5.1 THX ULTRA2
and 5.1 THX or DTS THX ULTRA2 and DTS THX listening modes.
