DTS-ES Discrete
*6
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a
discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven
totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-
degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround
channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with
a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.
DTS-ES Matrix
*6
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-
encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that
bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.
DTS Neo:X
*7
This mode expands various sources and various inputs up to 9.1 channel.
DTS Neo:X provides semi-spherical sound field adding height/wide
speakers to create a natural, immersive and spacious surround soundscape.
• DTS Neo:X Cinema
This mode is suitable for movie viewing.
• DTS Neo:X Music
This mode is suitable for any music source.
• DTS Neo:X Game
This mode is suitable for video games.
Audyssey DSX
*8
• Audyssey DSX
Audyssey DSX™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve
surround impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX first adds
Wide channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human
hearing has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more
critical in the presentation of a realistic soundstage than Back Surround
channels found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX then creates a pair
of Height channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and
perceptual cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels,
Audyssey DSX applies Surround Envelopment Processing to enhance the
blend between the front and surround channels.

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.
• THX Cinema
THX Cinema mode corrects theatrical soundtracks for playback in a home
theater environment. In this mode, THX Loudness Plus is configured for
cinema levels and Re-EQ, Timbre Matching, and Adaptive Decorrelation
are active.
• THX Music
THX Music mode is tailored for listening to music, which is typically
mastered at significantly higher levels than movies. In this mode, THX
Loudness Plus is configured for music playback and only Timbre Matching
is active.
• THX Games
THX Games mode is meant for spatially accurate playback of game audio,
which is often mixed similarly to movies but in a smaller environment. THX
Loudness Plus is configured for game audio levels, with Timbre Matching
active.
