• THX Surround EX

“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of THX Ltd. In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left, and subwoofer channels.

This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience, and sound localization than ever before.

When released to the home consumer market, movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com.

The DTR-6.4 can play the 5.1-channel sources in THX surround EX mode, even if the source is not encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX format. In this case, the sound actually output from the surround back channels depends on the source and may not fit your tastes.

Integra-specific surround modes (DSP)

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the center-channel

sound processed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.

Enhance

With multi channel speakers, you will get more active surround effect. When using the surround back speaker, the sound effect moves naturally through the surround back speaker position. This mode is good for music and TV sports programs.

Orchestra

This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is created in large halls.

Unplugged

This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of being in a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of the conversation.

All Ch Stereo

This mode is designed for playing background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.
