THX Loudness Plus

THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™ Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can now experience the rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of turning the volume below Reference Level is that cer- tain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. This enables users experience the true impact of soundtracks regard- less of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is auto- matically applied when listening in any THX listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.

PLIIx Music (2ch Input)

These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources. If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

Panorama

`On:

Panorama function on.

`Off:

Panorama function off.

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

Dimension

`–3to 0 to +3

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.

Center Width

`0 to 3 to 7

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is out- put by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distrib- uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan- tom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.
