Differences in channel level and speaker distance are taken into account automatically (compensation is provided for comparison purposes), but the frequency measurements are always shown without the equalization performed by this receiver. Note that due to an effect known as `group delay', lower frequencies will take longer to be generated than higher frequencies (this is most obvious when comparing the frequencies at 0ms). excessive reverb) with your listening room.

[. . . ] This feature filters the sound going to the surround speakers so that it more closely matches the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers. Adaptive DecorrelationTM By slightly changing one surround channel's time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel, Adaptive Decorrelation expands the listening position and creates the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theater using only two speakers. THX Ultra2TM Before any home theater component can be THX Ultra2TM certified, it must incorporate all the features described here and also pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. THX Ultra2TM requirements cover every aspect of the product including pre-amplifier performance and operation, and hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) PCM (also known as Linear PCM) is a digital audio coding system that does not use compression to reduce the amount of data needed to represent the analog audio. PCM audio can be found on CDs and some DVDs. About THX® THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. [. . . ]
