Boundary Gain Compensation:
If your chosen listening room layout (for practical or aesthetic reasons) results in the most of the listeners
being close to the rear wall, the resulting bass level may be reinforced by the wall (boundary) so much that
the overall sound quality becomes ‘boomy’. The AVM 20 contains a BGC (Boundary Gain Compensation)
feature to provide improved bass balance under these conditions. With a THX Ultra2 certified subwoofer, or
a subwoofer that has response down to 20 Hz, BGC can be selected in the THX Audio Setup menu by setting
THX Ultra2 Subwoofer to ‘Yes’ and then BG Compensation to ‘On’.
Center EQ:
When a Center speaker is installed in a wall unit/bookshelf or on top of a TV (as is often the case), its
frequency response will change and this may affect the clarity of speech. With CENTER EQ set to ‘Yes’, the
frequency response of the Center Channel output will be slightly altered to compensate.
TV Size For EQ :
This is used to determine the magnitude of the CENTER EQ change. Since room/TV/furniture acoustics vary,
you may wish to experiment to determine which setting is actually the best for you. Listen to the center
channel dialog of 3 or 4 different DVD soundtracks to determine which setting sounds the clearest:
• Select the TV size category that is one higher than what you are using, and then listen. The size
categories are: 18”- 30” / 30”- 42” / 42”- 54” / 54”- 66” / 66”- 78”.
• Leave the size setting in the category that provides the clearest dialogue, regardless of whether or
not the size actually matches your TV. In some situations, leaving the Center EQ off completely may
sound better. Let your ears be the final judge!
Hphone Mute Spk:
Determines whether or not the MAIN speakers turn off when headphones are inserted in the Front Panel:
• ‘Yes’
Will mute the MAIN speakers (only). The Front Panel display will then read “HPHONE”
instead of “MAIN” to indicate that adjusting Volume, Bass, Treble, and Balance will affect
HEADPHONE only – MAIN settings remain unaffected while headphones are inserted.
• ‘No’
MAIN speakers will continue to play when headphones are inserted. (To make headphone
adjustments see sections 5.2 to 5.7.)
