subwoofer system, improving frequency response, lowering dis- tortion and increasing dynamic range.

—Bass Peak Level Manager protects the subwoofer from overload- ing due to the great amount of bass a 5.1 soundtrack delivers.

—Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronization lets you easily set up your system for an optimum listening position.

 

THX SURR EX

 

 

 

THX Surround EX is a process that decodes a back surround signal

 

from the left and right surround channels on specially encoded Dolby

 

Digital DVD movie releases. THX Surround EX uses all the process-

 

ing included in the THX operating mode (see above). Your system

 

must include one or two back/surround loudspeakers for THX

 

Surround EX to operate.

 

 

 

 

 

Note

If the DVD has the proper encoding, the Home Theater Standard 7.1 will

 

recognize THX Surround EX and automatically engage the signal. Many

 

DVD discs include THX Surround EX information but do not encode it in a

 

way that a surround processor can recognize.

DTS Neo:6 Modes

DTS Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of information from

 

stereo encoded material. 7.1 and 6.1 systems will derive six channels

 

from the signal while 5.1 systems will derive five channels from the

 

signal. DTS Neo:6 includes two modes: DTS NEO:6 CINEMA for two

 

channel matrixed movie material and DTS NEO:6 MUSIC for stereo

 

encoded music material.
