5.1system 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 the 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.

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.
