Note
• If the Extended mode (page 34) is switched to OFF , or
the surround back speakers are set to NO (this
happens automatically if the Surround back speaker
setting on page 38 is set to anything but Normal
(SB) ), 2 Pro Logic IIx becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1
channel sound).
• In modes that give 6.1 channel sound, the same
signal is heard from both surround back speakers.
Using the Home THX modes
THX and Home THX are technical standards created by
Lucasfilm Ltd. for cinema and home theater sound.
Home THX is designed to make home theater audio
sound more like what you hear in a cinema.
Different THX options will be available depending on the
source and the Extended mode setting (see
Using the
surround back channel (Extended mode) on page 34 for
more on this).
• Press THX to select a THX listening mode.
With two channel sources , press THX repeatedly to select
a matrix-decoding process for the THX CINEMA mode
(see Listening in surround sound above for an
explanation of each process):
• 2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE
• 2 PRO LOGIC
• Neo:6 CINEMA
With multichannel sources , press THX repeatedly to
select from:
• THX CINEMA – Gives you cinema-quality sound from
your home theatre system using all the speakers in
your setup
• THX Surround EX – Allows you to hear 6.1 or 7.1
channel playback with 5.1 channel sources
• 2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE – Especially suited to movie
sources, this allows you to hear 7.1 channel playback
with 5.1 channel sources (only available when you’re
using two surround back speakers)
Note
• You won’t be able to use the THX options with 88.2/
96kHz PCM or DTS 96kHz/24 bit sources, or with the
headphones connected.
Using the Advanced surround effects
The Advanced surround effects can be used for a variety
of additional surround sound effects. Most Advanced
Surround modes are designed to be used with film
soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music
sources. Try different settings with various soundtracks
to see which you like.
• Press ADV. SURR (ADVANCED SURROUND)
repeatedly to select a listening mode.
• ADVANCED MOVIE – Simulates the relaxed
environment of a movie theater, and is suitable for
watching movies.
• ADVANCED MUSIC – Simulates the acoustic
environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for
music or musical sources.
• TV SURROUND – This mode produces surround
sound for both mono and stereo TV sources. It is
useful for older movies recorded with mono
soundtracks.
• SPORTS – This is designed for sports programs with
a lot of action, adding to the excitement by bringing
background action to the forefront.
• GAME – Useful when playing video games. It works
especially well with sound moving from left to right in
game software with a lot of movement.
• EXPANDED – This mode is especially designed to
give sound depth to stereo sources, and lets you hear
two-channel (stereo) signals as simulated
multichannel surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro
Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use
with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field
than the Standard modes.
• 7ch STEREO – This can be selected to give
multichannel sound to a stereo source, using all of
the speakers in your setup.
• PhonesSurround – When listening through
headphones, you can still get the effect of overall
surround.
Note
• Depending on the source and the sound mode you
have selected, you may not get sound from the
surround back speakers in your setup. For more on
this, refer to
Using the surround back channel
(Extended mode) on page 34.
