•2 PRO LOGIC

•NEO:6 CINEMA

With multichannel sources, press THX repeatedly to select from:

•THX CINEMA – Gives you cinema-quality sound from your home theatre system using all the speakers in your setup

•THX SURROUND EX – Allows you to hear 6.1 or 7.1 channel playback with 5.1 channel sources

•2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE – Allows you to hear 7.1 channel playback with 5.1 channel sources (especially suited to movie sources)

•THX ULTRA2 CINEMA – Allows you to hear 7.1 channel playback with 5.1 channel sources

•THX MUSICMODE – Allows you to hear 7.1 channel playback with DVD-A and SACD multichannel music sources

Note

•If you only have one surround back speaker connected, THX ULTRA2 CINEMA and THX MUSICMODE are not available.

•When selecting the Dolby Pro Logic modes above, the display shows the mode you selected, then after a few seconds, shows THX CINEMA.

•You won’t be able to use the THX options when playing two-channel DVD-A and SACD sources.

•With multichannel DVD-A and SACD sources, you can only select THX MUSICMODE.

Listening in stereo

You can hear any source through just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker settings).

•While listening to a source, press STEREO for stereo playback.

•When headphones are connected, no sound is heard from the speakers.
