THX				Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure
				movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the
				director intended. THX Modes carefully optimize the tonal and spatial
				characteristics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the home-theater
				environment. They can be used with 2-channel matrixed and multichannel
				sources. Surround back speaker output depends on the source material and
				the selected listening mode.
