THX Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure
movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the
director intended. THX Modes carefully optimize the tonal and spatial
characteristics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the home-theater
environment. They can be used with 2-channel matrixed and multichannel
sources. Surround back speaker output depends on the source material and
the selected listening mode.
