Special Design Features
THX Ultra
Adaptive Decorrelation Advanced Speaker Array
Re-Equalization Timbre Matching
Adaptive Decorrelation - another THX technology - slightly changes each surround channel’s time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channels. This expands the listening position and helps create - even with only two surround speakers - the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theater
THX Ultra 2 Music Mode THX Ultra 2 Cinema Mode
By using the technology in ASA described above, the THX Ultra 2 Music mode optimizes the performance of the speakers in the system for multichannel music - whether found on a concert video DVD, a DVD-Audiodisc, or a multichannel SACD disc
