The System Setup and Other Setup menus

Channel Level

Using the channel level settings, you can adjust

the overall balance of your speaker system, an

important factor when setting up a home the-

ater system.

1 Select ‘Channel Level’ from the

Manual SP Setup menu.

The test tones will start.

2 Adjust the level of each channel using

k/l.

Use i/j to switch speakers.

Adjust the level of each speaker as the test tone

is emitted.

! If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL)

meter, take the readings from your main

listening position and adjust the level of each

speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow

reading).

3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Note

! You can change the channel levels by set the

remote control to the receiver operation mode,

then press CH LEVEL, and then using k/l

on the remote control.

Speaker Distance

For good sound depth and separation from

your system, you need to specify the distance of

your speakers from the listening position. The

receiver can then add the proper delay needed

for effective surround sound.

1 Select ‘Speaker Distance’ from the

Manual SP Setup menu.

2 Adjust the distance of each speaker

using k/l.

You can adjust the distance of each speaker in

0.01 m Increments.

3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Note

! For best surround sound, make sure the

surround back speakers are the same

distance from the listening position.

X-Curve

Most soundtracks mixed for cinema sound too

bright when played back in large rooms. The

X-Curve setting acts as a kind of re-equalization

for home theater listening, and restores proper

tonal balance of movie soundtracks.

Since the principal is the same, X-Curve isn’t

applied when you’re using any of the Home

THX, Pure direct or Optimum surround modes.

1 Select ‘X-Curve’ from the

Manual SP Setup menu.

2 Choose the X-Curve setting you want.

Use k/l to adjust the setting. The X-Curve

is expressed as a downwards slope in deci-

bels per octave, starting at 2 kHz. 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:

Room size (m

)

X-Curve

(dB/oct)

–0.5 –1.0 –1.5 –2.0 –2.5 –3.0

≤36 ≤48 ≤60 ≤72 ≤300 ≤1000

! If you select OFF, the frequency curve will be

flat and the X-Curve has no effect.

3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

THX Audio Setting

This menu allows the user to adjust various THX

features including Loudness Plus, SBch pro-

cessing, THX Ultra2/Select2 Subwoofer (on/off),

and Boundary Gain Control. Please see page

108 for details regarding these THX features.

! ULTRA2 for the SC-LX85, SELECT2 for the

SC-LX75.

1 Select ‘THX Audio Setting’ from the

Manual SP Setup menu.

2 Select either ON or OFF for the THX

Loudness Plus setting.

3 Specify whether the SBch Processing is

AUTO or MANUAL.

! AUTO – When surround back speakers are

connected, Dolby Digital EX signal is present

in the audio signals being input is detected

and the appropriate THX surround mode is

set.

! MANUAL – The desired THX surround mode

can be selected regardless of whether or not

surround back channel signals are present in

the audio signals being input.

4 Specify whether your subwoofer is

Ultra2/Select2 certified or not.

If your subwoofer isn’t THX Ultra2/Select2 certi-

fied, but you still want to switch boundary gain

compensation on, select YES here, but the

effect might not work properly.

5 Select either ON or OFF for Boundary

Gain Compensation setting.

6 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Network Setup menu

the Internet and using the network functions.
