• THX setup sends you to a screen in which you can configure some THXspecific<br />
features.<br />
Specifically:<br />
• THX Ultra 2 sub should be engaged if you are using a subwoofer that<br />
is certified by the THX Ultra 2 standard. Such subwoofers are essentially<br />
flat to 20 Hz under what might be considered worst-case acoustic<br />
conditions for bass, and have prodigious output capability. If you select<br />
the THX Ultra 2 sub button, you will also notice that the otherwise<br />
grayed-out boundary gain compensation button becomes available. (See<br />
below.)<br />
• ASA stands for Advanced Speaker Array, and engages a proprietary THX<br />
technology that provides outstanding flexibility and performance in<br />
your surround sound array. This button will take you to a submenu in<br />
which you specify that your rear speakers are together (less than 1 foot<br />
apart), close (between 1-4 feet apart), or apart (more than 4 feet apart).<br />
In an ASA surround system, the ideal situation is one in which the rear<br />
speakers are almost touching each other, and you have selected together.<br />
This allows the ASA processing to create the most seamless and versatile<br />
surround sound field.<br />
• boundary gain compensation will adjust for the fact that most of us<br />
do not suffer from the worst-case acoustic scenario that THX Ultra 2<br />
subwoofers can handle. If you have such a subwoofer, and it is placed<br />
within 3-4 feet of at least one wall, engage the boundary gain<br />
compensation. It will correct for the acoustic reinforcement your room<br />
is providing to the subwoofer in order to yield the flattest, most accurate<br />
bass.<br />
• positions 1-4 are the menus in which you can create and recall families<br />
of speaker level and distance measurements for later use. You might<br />
have one position defined for the seating arrangement used for standard<br />
movie viewing, and another for when you are sitting by the window<br />
reading a good book.<br />
Positions can be enabled or disabled as required by going to the system<br />
setup/speakers/position menu. If the position in question is highlighted, it<br />
is available for use. If it is not highlighted, it has been disabled to prevent<br />
accidental use.<br />
