5.1a UL2Cin, 5.1a SurEX, & 5.1a

MODE ADJUST 5.1a UL2Cin OR 5.1a SurEX OR 5.1a

The 5.1a THX UL2Cin, 5.1a THX SurEX, and 5.1a THX listening modes are designed to convert 5.1-channel analog film sources that lack THX Surround EX encoding into seven channel audio. The modes also allow 5.1-channel analog sources to use bass management, speaker crossovers, speaker distance calibration, and audio controls (tone controls). The 5.1a THX UL2Cin, 5.1a THX SurEX, and 5.1a THX listening modes are recommended for home theaters with THX-certified speakers. These modes 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.

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

The listening mode name differs depending on the SURROUND EX parameter setting, and the speaker setup.

The table at the top of the next page indicates the conditions in which THX Ultra2 and THX Surround EX decoding are activated.
