MODE ADJUST PL +

This mode is designed for playback of Dolby Surround-encoded sources and decodes four channels: three front channels and one mono surround channel with a high-frequency rolloff above 7kHz. This mode is recommended for home theaters with THX-certified speakers. Dolby PL + THX mode:

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

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