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 or Pure direct.
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 decibels 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:
