MC-12 Mode Adjust

PLIIx + & PLII +

MODE ADJUST PLIIx + OR MODE ADJUST PLII +

The Dolby PLIIx + THX and Dolby PLII + THX listening modes are designed to playback 7.1 or 5.1 discrete channels decoded from 2-channel Dolby Surround-encoded sources. The seven or five main channels are full frequency. The .1 channel, often referred to as LFE information, has a limited frequency range of up to 120Hz. The PLIIx listening mode is only available when the front, side and rear speakers are present.

Note:

The PLIIx mode does not appear in the list of available listening modes if either the side or rear speakers are missing from the configuration.

The modes are recommended for home theaters with THX-certified speakers. Dolby PLII(x) + THX encoding:

•Apply THX re-equalization to simulate high-frequency rolloffs that occur in movie theaters. Most films are mixed for movie theaters, and might sound too bright when played back in home theaters without re-equalization.

•Apply THX timbre matching to minimize timbre differences between the front and surround channels, which results in smoother sound movements between them.
