DTS-ES Matrix

This is DTS with an added surround back channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it to

provide 6.1 channel surround playback with program material recorded in DTS 5.1 format. Since DTS 5.1 program material

contains surround back channel informa-

tion, all channels can be reconstructed for 6.1-channel playback. Use this mode with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES or DTS logo.

Neo:6

This mode provides 6.1-channel playback from 2-chan- nel sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels with excellent separation. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode for movies, and Music mode for listening to music.

Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement that you get with 6.1-channel surround sound sources. Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV programs that feature stereo sound.

Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a natural sound field that cannot be produced with conven- tional stereo. Use this mode with stereo material such as music CDs.

THX Ltd, founded by George Lucas, develops quality assurance programs for ensuring that movies are repro- duced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the director intended. THX technology is used to eliminate spatial errors that can occur when a movie soundtrack is adapted for use in smaller home theaters, ensuring faith- ful reproduction.

This mode is ideal for watching a movie with a soundtrack recorded and edited especially for playback in the spaciousness of a typical movie theater.

THX Surround EX (DTR-6.5 only)

It adds an extra surround channel to the existing front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and LFE (sub- woofer) channels, making a total of 6.1 channels. (For best results with DVDs that feature THX Surround EX, use a THX-certified THX speaker system.)
