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.
