DOLBY PLIIx + THX & DOLBY PLII + THX
Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology is an extension to Dolby Pro Logic II
that enables the listener to experience natural and seamless 6.1- or
7.1-channel (six or seven speakers and a subwoofer) surround sound
from any native two-channel (stereo) or 5.1-channel source.
The modes are recommended for home theaters with THX-certified
speakers. Dolby PLII(x) + THX 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.
The PLIIx listening mode is only available when the front, side and rear
speakers are present. The PLII listening mode is available when the
front and side speakers are present.
Activating the DOLBY PLIIx + THX listening mode
The DOLBY PLIIx + THX listening mode is a dynamic listening mode
and cannot be assigned as a preferred listening mode for 2-channel
Dolby Surround-encoded sources. To activate this listening mode, play
the 2-channel Dolby Surround-encoded source, then select DOLBY
PLIIx + THX using the front-panel or remote control Mode buttons.
When the 2-CH parameter is set to USE LAST, the RV-8 will automat-
ically activate the DOLBY PLIIx + THX listening mode if this listening
mode was activated the last time a 2-channel Dolby Surround-
encoded source was present.
Note:
The PLIIx mode does not appear in the list of available listening modes if
either the side or rear speakers are missing from the configuration.
See “Listening Mode Menu Option and Parameter Descriptions” on page 6-39 for
detailed descriptions.
