• Designed for playback of 5.1-channel Dolby Digital film sources.
• Listening mode name differs depending on the encoding
present in the input source, the SURROUND EX parameter
setting and the speaker setup. The table on the next page indi-
cates the conditions in which THX Surround EX and THX Ultra2
decoding are engaged.
• Allows 7-channel playback of 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources
without Surround EX encoding.
• Applies THX re-equalization to simulate high-frequency rolloffs
that occur in movie theaters. Most films are mixed for movie
theaters, and might sound too bright when played back in
home theaters without re-equalization.
• Applies THX timbre matching to minimize timbre differences
between the front and surround channels, which results in
smoother sound movements between them.
• When the THX ULTRA2 listening mode is activated, ASA pro-
cessing is applied to signals sent to the rear speakers. Refer to
the ASA parameter description on page 3-37 for more infor-
mation.
• When the THX ULTRA2 listening mode is activated, adaptive
de-correlation increases the perceived width of the listening
space. De-correlation of the mono surround channel increases
the perceived width of the surround field in home theaters.
• When the THX SurEX listening mode is activated, matrix
decoding derives three surround channels from 5.1-channel
Dolby Digital sources.
• Recommended for home theaters with THX-certified speaker
setups.
