3-9. THX Sub-menu
This sub-menu allows you to set the settings that will be enabled
when the THX listening mode is selected. The settings available are
shown in the table below.
Setting Values Initial value
a. Re-EQ (THX) Off, On On
b. Decoder (2ch) PL II Movie PL II Movie
Neo:6 Cinema
c. THX Surround EX Auto, Off, On On
(Dolby D)
d. DTS-ES Auto, Off, On Auto
a. Re-EQ (THX)
Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness” out of
your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound
mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through
speakers in the home environment.
This can be set to either “On” or “Off”.
You can use the Re-EQ button on the remote controller for setting
“On” or “Off.”
b. Decoder (2ch)
This setting allows you to select the decoding mode for THX
processing.
PL II Movie: Select for Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.
Neo:6 Cinema: Select for DTS Neo:6 Cinema.
c. THX Surround EX (Dolby D)
This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources
will be played back using THX Surround EX when a surround back
speaker is connected.
Auto: Select to automatically output sources with EX-
identifying signals using THX Surround EX.
On: Select to output using THX Surround EX regardless of
whether or not the source contains EX identifiers.
Off: Select not to output using THX Surround EX regardless of
whether or not the source contains EX identifiers (Dolby D is
used).
Note:
THX Surround EX (Dolby D) will not appear if the Surr Back/Zone
2 setting in the Surr Back/Zone 2 Sub-menu of the Hardware Setup
Menu is set to “Zone 2.”
d. DTS-ES
This setting allows you to select the DTS-ES mode for THX
processing.
Auto: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source
has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1 when the
DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES).
On: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 when the DTS
source has the DTS-ES flag, and to DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 when the
DTS source has no DTS-ES flag.
Off: Select to not use DTS-ES listening modes even when the
DTS source has the DTS-ES flag. With this setting, the DTS
sources are always played in DTS 5.1 mode.

Mono Movie/Enhanced 7/Orchestra/Unplugged/
Studio Mix /TV Logic Sub-menu
The settings of these sub-menus become effective when any of the
Mono Movie, Enhanced 7, Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, or
TV Logic listening modes are selected. When one of the listening
modes is selected, the settings in the sub-menu of that listening mode
become enabled.
Setting Values Initial value
a. Front Effect Off, On On
b. Reverb Level Low, Mid, High Mid
c. Reverb Time Short, Mid, Long Mid
a. Front Effect
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play
these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP,
creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or
presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off” so that no
reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from
the three front channels. With this setting, the sound source is played
as it is without any further reverberation.
b. Reverb Level
This setting allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation
to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room,
and such other factors.
Select from the three settings “Low,” “Mid,” and “High.”
c. Reverb Time
Adjust the reverb time to match the source being played back and the
acoustics of the room. Select from the three settings “Short,” “Mid,”
and “Long.”
