This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel 
DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it 
with DVDs that bear the DTS logo and feature a 
5.1-channel soundtrack.

 

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. The 
THX modes produce the best results when using a THX-
certified speaker system.

 

This mode is for watching movies, which are typi-
cally recorded and edited on the assumption that they 
will be played in a sizable place like a movie theater. 
It carefully optimizes the tonal and spatial character-
istics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the 
smaller home-theater environment. It can be used 
with 2-channel sources processed with other for-
mats, and multichannel sources. Surround back 
speaker output depends on the source material and 
the selected listening mode.

 

This mode expands Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-
channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. It 
does this by analyzing the composition of the sur-
round source, optimizing the ambient and directional 
sounds to produce the surround back channel output. 
This is a new and improved mode especially for 
home theater use.

 

This mode is designed for use with music. It expands 
Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel sources for 
6.1/7.1-channel playback.

 

This mode is designed for use with video games.

 

This mode expands Dolby Digital and DTS 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 development between Dolby Laborato-
ries and THX Ltd.

 

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono 
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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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.
