DTS Neo:6		This mode expands any 2-channel source for

Audyssey DSX*8		• Audyssey DSX	D	B
		Audyssey DSX® is a scalable system that	F	b
	A u d y s s e y D S X
		adds new speakers to improve surround	G
		impression. Starting with a 5.1 system	H
		Audyssey DSX first adds Wide channels
		for the biggest impact on envelopment.
		Research in human hearing has proven that
		information from the Wide channels is
		much more critical in the presentation of a
		realistic soundstage than Back Surround
		channels found in traditional 7.1 systems.
		Audyssey DSX then creates a pair of
		Height channels to reproduce the next most
		important acoustical and perceptual cues.
		In addition to these new Wide and Height
		channels, Audyssey DSX applies Surround
		Envelopment Processing to enhance the
		blend between the front and surround
		channels.
