DTS NEO:6 + THX

MODE ADJUST +

This mode is designed for playback of matrix-encoded digital stereo film sources. DTS Neo:6 derives six channels when both side and rear speakers are present (rear channels will be in parallel). It derives five channels when only side or rear speakers are present.

In addition to THX processing, THX re-equalization is applied 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.

This listening mode is a dynamic listening mode and cannot be assigned as a preferred listening mode. To select this listening mode use the remote control or front-panel Mode button. When the 2-CH parameter is set to USE LAST, the RV-8 will automatically activate a DTS Neo:6 + THX listening mode if this mode was activated the last time a 2-channel source was present.
