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.
