These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned
facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV.
Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the
apex.
c Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements
distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly
for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the front speakers.
deSurround speakers (Left and Right)
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they
should be equidistant from the listener.
f Subwoofer(s)
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your
subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening
room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be
obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third
the width of the wall, as shown.
ghSurround back speakers (Left and Right)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES
Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Surround EX, etc. They enhance the
realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the
listener. Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to
100 cm) above ear level.
ijFront high speakers (Left and Right)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and
Audyssey DSX™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience.
Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (preferably as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front
speakers.
klFront wide speakers (Left and Right)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audyssey DSX. They significantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them well outside of the
front speakers. See also
about optimum speaker placement for Audyssey DSX.

Which Connections Should I Use?
The AV controller supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your components. Use the following sections as a guide.
Video Connection Formats
Video component can be connected by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video,
S-Video, PC IN (Analog RGB), component video or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
The AV controller can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting
(➔ 50), which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI
output.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconversion (e.g., component video input through to component video output).
To by-pass video upconversion in the AV controller, simultaneously press the VCR/DVR and Return on the AV
controller. While continuing to hold down the VCR/DVR, press Return to toggle until “Skip” appears on the display. Release both buttons.
To use the video upconversion in the AV controller, repeat the above process until “Use” appears on the display and
release the buttons.
■ “Monitor Out” setting set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”
Video input signals flow through the AV controller as
shown, with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog
RGB) and component video sources all being upconverted
for the HDMI output. Use these settings if you connect the
AV c on t r ol l e r’ s HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB,
Composite
respectively, to your TV.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs
pass through their respective input signals as they are.
Note
• If not connected to the same output you have selected in the “Monitor Out” setting, the “Monitor Out” setting will be automatically
switched to “Analog” (➔ 24).
In this case, the setting of the output resolution will be that for
HDMI output (➔ 50). Moreover, it will be switched to “1080i”
when “1080p” or “1080p/24” is selected, and to “Through” when
“Auto” is selected.
AV controller
Composite
■ “Monitor Out” setting set to “Both”, “Both(Main)” or “Both(Sub)”
Video input signals flow through the AV controller as
shown, with composite video, S-Video, PC IN (Analog
RGB) and component video sources all being upconverted
for both HDMI outputs. Use these settings if you connect
the AV controller’s HDMI OUT MAIN and HDMI OUT
Composite
SUB to your TVs.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs
pass through their respective input signals as they are.
` Both: Video signals are output from both HDMI outputs
AV controller
at the resolution supported by both TVs. You cannot
select “Resolution” setting.
` Both(Main): Video signals are output from both HDMI
Composite
outputs but HDMI OUT MAIN will become a priority;
depending on the resolution, video signals may not be
output from HDMI OUT SUB.
` Both(Sub): Video signals are output from both HDMI outputs but HDMI OUT SUB will become a priority; depend-
ing on the resolution, video signals may not be output from HDMI OUT MAIN.
Note
•The “Monitor Out” setting will be automatically switched to “Analog” (➔ 50) if not connected to both outputs when “Both” is
selected or if not connected to a priority output when “Both(Main)” or “Both(Sub)” is selected.

■ “Monitor Out” setting set to “Analog”
Video input signals flow through the AV controller as
shown, with composite video, S-Video and PC IN (Analog
RGB) sources being upconverted for the component video
output. Use this setting if you connect the AV control-
ler’s COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT to your
TV.
Composite video is upconverted to S-Video and S-Video is
downconverted to composite video. Note that these conversions only apply to the MONITOR OUT V and S outputs,
not the VCR/DVR OUT V and S outputs.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.
This signal flow also applies when the “Resolution” setting is set to “Through” (➔ 51).
Video Signal Flow and the Resolution Setting
When the “Monitor Out” setting is set to “Analog”
(➔ 50), if the “Resolution” setting is set to anything other
than “Through” (➔ 51), the video signal flow will be as
shown here, with composite video, PC IN (Analog RGB)
and S-Video sources being upconverted for the component
video output.
The composite video, S-Video and component video outputs pass through their respective analog input signals as
they are. HDMI input signals are not output.

Audyssey MultEQ®XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup
With the supplied calibrated microphone,
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 automatically determines the
number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of
bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the
subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position.
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 then removes the distortion
caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical
problems over the listening area in both the frequency and
time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for
everyone. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ XT32 allows you
to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ
proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level
(➔ 59).
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
If “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On” (➔ 59), the “Equalizer”
setting will be set to “Audyssey” (➔ 56). On the other
hand, if it is set to “Off”, the “Dynamic Volume” setting
will be set to “Off” (➔ 60).
It takes about 30 minutes to complete
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker
Setup for 8 positions. Total measurement time varies
depending on the number of speakers.
Using Audyssey MultEQ XT32
Using Audyssey MultEQ XT32 to create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy,
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 takes measurements at up to
8 positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do
not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.
■ First measurement position
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this
refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ XT32 uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the
optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
