This is DTS with an added surround back 
channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it to 
provide 6.1 channel surround playback 
with program material recorded in DTS 5.1 
format. Since DTS 5.1 program material 
contains surround back channel informa-
tion, all channels can be reconstructed for 6.1-channel 
playback. Use this mode with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that 
bear the DTS-ES or DTS logo.

 

This mode provides 6.1-channel playback from 2-chan-
nel sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels with 
excellent separation. There are two modes of operation: 
Cinema mode for movies, and Music mode for listening 
to music.

Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement 
that you get with 6.1-channel surround sound sources. 
Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV programs that 
feature stereo sound. 

Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a 
natural sound field that cannot be produced with conven-
tional stereo. Use this mode with stereo material such as 
music CDs.

THX Ltd, founded by George Lucas, develops quality 
assurance programs for ensuring that movies are repro-
duced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the 
director intended. THX technology is used to eliminate 
spatial errors that can occur when a movie soundtrack is 
adapted for use in smaller home theaters, ensuring faith-
ful reproduction. 

This mode is ideal for watching a movie with a 
soundtrack recorded and edited especially for playback 
in the spaciousness of a typical movie theater.

 

THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a 
joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX 
Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been 
encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology 
are able to reproduce an extra surround back channel 
which has been added during the mixing of the program. 
A list of Surround EX encoded movies can be found on 
www.Dolby.com.

 

Suitable for classical or operatic music. The center 
speaker is turned off and the surround channels are 
emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addi-
tion, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

 

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz 
music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu-
lates the stage-front experience.

 

Suitable for rock and pop music. Listening to music in 
this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful 
acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

 

Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a 
TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the 
entire sound and adds clarity to voices.

 

This mode is ideal for enjoying music programs or TV 
sports programs. It provides a natural surround sound 
with movement in the surround back speakers, creating 
a sound with a live feeling to it.

 

This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other 
mono sound sources. The center speaker outputs the 
sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output 
by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono 
material.

 

Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and 
surround back channels create a stereo image that fills 
the entire listening area.

 

In this mode, all speakers output mono audio, so the 
music sounds the same regardless of where you are.
