THX
Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent stan-
dards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie the-
aters 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.

THX Cinema mode corrects theatrical soundtracks 
for playback in a home theater environment. In this 
mode, THX Loudness Plus is configured for cinema 
levels and Re-EQ, Timbre Matching, and Adaptive 
Decorrelation are active.

THX Music mode is tailored for listening to music, 
which is typically mastered at significantly higher 
levels than movies. In this mode, THX Loudness 
Plus is configured for music playback and only Tim-
bre Matching is active.

THX Games mode is meant for spatially accurate 
playback of game audio, which is often mixed simi-
larly to movies but in a smaller environment. THX 
Loudness Plus is configured for game audio levels, 
with Timbre Matching active.

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 7.1- 
channel playback. It does this by analyzing the com-
position of the surround source, optimizing the 
ambient and directional sounds to produce the sur-
round back channel output.

This mode is designed for use with music. It expands 
5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

This mode is designed for use with video games. It 
can expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel 
playback.

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1- 
channel playback. It’s especially suited to Dolby 
Digital EX sources. THX Surround EX, also known 
as Dolby Digital Surround EX, is a joint develop-
ment between Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd.

Orchestra
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode 
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the 
stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of 
a large hall.

Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this 
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the 
impression of being right in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this 
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous-
tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-
duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire 
sound, and clarity to voices.

Game-RPG
Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.

Game-Action
Use this mode when playing action game discs.

Game-Rock
Use this mode when playing rock game discs.

Game-Sports
Use this mode when playing sports game discs.

All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-
tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, 
and surround back speakers.

Full Mono
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in 
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of 
where you are within the listening room.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound 
even with only two or three speakers. This works by con-
trolling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right 
ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too 
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode 
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.
