Advanced Speaker Array™ (ASA)
When you set up your home theater system using all eight speaker outputs and the two surround back speakers are placed close together as shown in the diagram in THX speaker system setup on page 96, the surround sound experience is optimized for THX Ultra2™ Cinema and THX MusicMode.
THX's ASA circuitry will automatically detect
Please note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital flag that allows ASA to switch automatically. Therefore, if you know that the movie that you are watching is encoded in Surround EX, you may manually select the THX Surround EX playback mode.
THX Ultra2™ Cinema mode
This mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In this mode ASA processing blends the side surround speakers and back surround speakers giving you the optimal mix of ambient and directional surround sounds.
THX MusicMode™
ASA technology optimizes playback of 5.1 encoded music sources such as DTS and Dolby Digital using all 8 speakers in your setup.
Boundary Gain Compensation™
Depending on the listener’s and the subwoofer’s position, the listener may experience an excessive bass effect. This feature compensates for excessive bass resulting from a boundary gain effect. This feature is designed to operate when used with a subwoofer certified to THX Ultra2™ specifications.
