12Additional information

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 DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded soundtracks for correct playback using all 8 speakers.

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.

Maintenance of external surfaces

Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

When the surfaces are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.
