Updating of listening modes
Listening modes such as DTS Virtual:X, Atmos 2.0 and DSur 2.0 are
added when the rmware is updated after purchase or the rmware is switched
in the product production process. For details of rmware update, see "Additional
Function (Firmware Update)" ( p6).

THX
THX is a series of specications for the accurate reproduction of movies
propounded by the lm director George Lucas. THX listening modes include
the THX Cinema mode, etc. Using technology such as THX Loudness Plus and
Timbre Matching, the sound of a movie theater is reproduced accurately.
THX technology:
A movie soundtrack is mixed in a large-scale theater specially made for mixing
that is called a dubbing stage on the assumption that the soundtrack is played
in such theaters with similar equipment and conditions. These soundtracks
are recorded as is, even when recording to a DVD-Video, for example, without
making any modications to suit a home theater environment. THX technology
is able to reproduce the movie theater sound accurately in a home theater
environment by minimizing acoustic and spatial deviation.
• THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology mounted on THX Ultra
and THX Select-certied AV receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater
audience can experience the rich details of surround sound at any volume level.
If the volume is turned down below the reference level, elements of sound in a
certain range are lost, or the sound is perceived dierently by audience. THX
Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the
volume is reduced, by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and
frequency response.
• Re-EQ
The speakers for the front channel in a movie theater are installed behind the
screen. For this reason the high range is enhanced in the sound track of the front
channel in view of acoustic characteristics such as the necessity to penetrate the
screen. Re-EQ adjusts the soundtrack with the enhanced high range to make it
suitable for a home theater.
• Timbre Matching
The perception of human ears diers depending on the sound direction. Movie
theaters have many surround speakers installed, so they are excellent at
surrounding the viewers with natural sound, but home theaters have only two
surround speakers installed. The Timbre Matching function lters the signals sent
to the surround speakers, and adjusts the tonal characteristics of front speakers
and surround speakers to create smooth sound movement from front speakers to
surround speakers.
• Adaptive Decorrelation
While movie theaters have many surround speakers to enable the experience
where viewers are surrounded with sound, home theaters normally have only two
surround speakers. Such two surround speakers give a headphone-like sound,
not a broad and embracing surround sound. If a listener moves away from the
middle position between the surround speakers, the sound from the surround
speakers is absorbed into the sound from the nearby speakers, and cannot be
distinguished any more. Adaptive Decorrelation changes the time axis and phase
between the surround channels so that you can enjoy the same spatial sound
with two surround speakers as in a movie theater .
• ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)
ASA is a technology patented by THX to provide a broad surround sound
experience by adjusting the sounds of two surround speakers on the sides and
two surround speakers at the back. When installing the surround back speakers,
be sure to select the distance between the two surround back speakers in the
THX Audio settings. This setting optimizes the surround sound environment.
THX listening modes:
– THX Cinema: Use this mode in a home theater environment to play the
soundtrack that was recorded on the assumption that it is played in a movie

enabled.
– THX Games: Use this mode for high-delity spatial reproduction of game
sound. THX Loudness Plus is set to a level suited to the audio level of the
game, and Timbre Matching is enabled.
– THX Music: This mode mainly adjusts the playback of music sources that are
mastered to a much higher quality obviously than movie audio. In this mode,
THX Loudness Plus is set to a level suited to the playback of music, and
Timbre Matching is enabled.
– THX Sel Cin (THX Select Cinema): The THX Select Cinema mode provides a
high-quality surround sound experience by expanding movie sources recorded
in 5.1ch for 7.1ch playback. In this mode, the THX ASA processing technology
gives smooth transition between side and back surround sounds, creating the
best atmosphere and directional sense of surround sound.
– THX Sel Gam (THX Select Games): Select the THX Select Games mode
to play game sound recorded in a multichannel format. In this mode, the
THX ASA processing technology enables the playback of game sound in a
360-degree sound eld which was recorded in PCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and
other 5.1ch formats.
– THX Sel Mus (THX Select Music): Select THX Select Music to play music
sources recorded in a multichannel format. In this mode, the THX ASA
processing technology creates a broad and stable back sound eld when
playing music sources recorded in 5.1ch, such as DTS, Dolby Digital, and
DVD-Audio.
TV Logic
Suitable for TV shows produced in a TV studio. This mode gives clarity to voices
by enhancing the entire surround sounds, and creates a realistic acoustic image.
Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals and jazz. This mode emphasizes the
front sound eld image, giving the impression of being in front of the stage.

THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control
technology mounted on THX Ultra and THX Select-
certied receivers.
With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audience
can experience the rich details of surround sound
at any volume level.
If the volume is turned down below the reference
level, elements of sound in a certain range are lost
or the sound is perceived dierently by the listener.

spatial shifts that occur when the volume level is
reduced, by intelligently adjusting the levels of the
surround channels and their frequency response in
the environment.
This enables users to experience the true impact
of soundtracks regardless of the volume setting.

Troubleshooting
Before starting the procedure
Problems may be solved by simply turning the power on/o or disconnecting/
connecting the power cord, which is easier than working on the connection,
setting and operating procedure. Try the simple measures on both the unit and
the connected device. If the problem is that the video or audio is not output or the
HDMI linked operation does not work, disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable
may solve it. When reconnecting, be careful not to wind the HDMI cable since
if wound the HDMI cable may not t well. After reconnecting, turn o and on the
unit and the connected device.
• The AV receiver contains a microPC for signal processing and control
functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external
source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that
this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 5
seconds, and then plug it back in.
• Our company is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to
unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit’s malfunction. Before you record
important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.

❏ The subwoofer produces no sound
If the setting of the front speakers is "Full Band", the low range elements will be output from the front speakers instead of from the subwoofer during
2 ch audio input of TV or music. To output the sound from the subwoofer, make one of the following settings.
1. Change the setting for the front speakers to a setting of crossover frequency value other than "Full Band".
The range below the specied frequency will be output from the subwoofer instead of from the front speakers. If your front speakers have a high
low-range reproduction capability, changing this setting is not recommended.
2. Change "Double Bass" to "On".
The low range elements of the front speakers will be output from both the front speakers and the subwoofer. Due to this, the bass sound may be
emphasized too much. In such a case, do not change the setting, or make the setting with the above option 1.
• For the setting details, refer to "2. Speaker" - "Crossover" on the Setup menu.
• If the input signals do not contain subwoofer audio elements (LFE), the subwoofer may produce no sound.
( p119)
❏ Noise can be heard
• Using cable ties to bundle audio pin cables, power cords, speaker cables, etc. may degrade the audio performance. Do not bundle the cords.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Change the position of the cables.
❏ The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN cannot be heard
• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.
