multichannel formats

Note:

This compensation is provided by engaging the THX Ultra 2 CInema mode. It works in combination with any of the multichannel formats described in the previous section: Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. You should consider using it when watching any movie that was originally created for theatrical release, whether on DVD, broadcast television, or any other medium.

Here is a list of post-processing options provided by your surround processor.

Name	Description
Dolby Pro Logic II	An improved version of the original Pro Logic
	matrix, which provides better perceived separation
	between channels and compatibility with both
	Dolby Surround encoded movies and unencoded
	music.
	Try listening to some of your CDs with DPL II
	– you may be surprised how well it creates a
	multichannel experience from a two-channel
	recording.
DTS Neo:6	Conceptually, DTS Neo:6 is similar to DPL II.
	However, the subjective differences are noticeable.
	People often prefer one to the other, though in
	our experience it is worth trying both on most
	recordings. Each seems to work better with some
	recordings than with others. Pick whichever you
	prefer.
	Experiment with Neo:6 when listening to regular
	CDs and other stereo music sources.
THX Ultra 2 Cinema	THX essentially created the standards for high-
	performance home theater back in 1991. THX
	Ultra 2 Cinema is the latest incarnation of their
	technology, designed to maximize your movie
	experience while minimizing the hassles.
	Use this for any movies originally created for
	theatrical release, and even for prime-time
	television that seems a little “bright” sounding – it
	was likely produced in a movie-standards mixing
	studio.
THX Ultra 2 Music	The needs of optimal multichannel music
	reproduction are somewhat different than those of
	movie reproduction. This post-processing option
	addresses those needs and is a great place to start
	when listening to almost any music source.

The THX Ultra 2 modes require the presence of rear channels in addition to the side “surround” channels. These speakers take advantage of THX’s ASA technology to provide a higher- performance, particularly flexible and seamless surround soundfield.
