Applying THX technologies

Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions. The soundtrack created for movie theatres is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a smal home theatre environment.

THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the KRF-X9992D, when the THX mode is on, the THX technologies are automatically added after the decoded signal.

Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, MPEG, Dolby Pro Logic, Stereo and Mono can all benefit from activat- ing the THX technologies. THX should be activated only when watching movies which were mixed for playback in large movie theatre environments. THX need not be activated for music, movies that were made especially for television or shows such as sports programming, talk shows, etc. This is because they were mixed in a small room environment.
