THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology
featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™
Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home
theater audiences can now experience the rich details in
a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of
turning the volume below Reference Level is that cer-
tain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently
by the listener. 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. This enables
users experience the true impact of soundtracks regard-
less of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is auto-
matically applied when listening in any THX listening
mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX
Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX
Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.

PLIIx Music (2ch Input)
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.
If you're not using any surround back speakers, these
settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro
Logic IIx.
Panorama
On:
Panorama function on.
Off:
Panorama function off.
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
listening mode.
Dimension
–3 to 0 to +3
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward
or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field
backward. Lower settings move it forward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there's too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it's in mono, or there's not enough surround
sound, move it backward.
Center Width
0 to 3 to 7
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you're
using a center speaker, the center channel sound is out-
put by only the center speaker. (If you're not using a
center speaker, the center channel sound will be distrib-
uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan-
tom center). This setting controls the front left, right,
and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the
center channel sound.
