DTS-ES Discrete*6					This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a	G	V
					discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven		J
	E S	D i s c r e t e			totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-
							K
					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-	G	V
					encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that		J
	E S	M a t r i x			bear the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.

Audyssey DSX*8					• Audyssey DSX	D	bB
					Audyssey DSX™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve	F	M
	A u d y s s e y D S X
					surround impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX first adds	G
					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	D	CNM
	T H X	C i n e m a			THX Cinema mode corrects theatrical soundtracks for playback in a home	F
					theater environment. In this mode, THX Loudness Plus is configured for	G
	T H X	M u s i c			cinema levels and Re-EQ, Timbre Matching, and Adaptive Decorrelation
					are active.
					• THX Music
	T H X	G a m e s
					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.
