Using the Listening Modes

Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD programs. When
playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby
Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD, sometimes
you may see a brief message in the front panel display
which will read "DialogNorm: X dB" (X being a numeric
value). The display is showing how the program level
relates with THX calibration level. If you want to play the
program at calibrated theatrical levels, you may wish to
adjust the volume. For example, if you see the following
message: "DialogNorm: + 4 dB" in the front panel
display, to keep the overall output level at THX calibrated
loudness, just turn down the volume control by 4 dB.
However, unlike a movie theater where the playback
loudness is preset, you can choose your preferred
volume setting for best enjoyment.
THX Cinema Processing
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies
established by the world-renowned film production
company Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’
personal desire to make your experience of the film
soundtrack in both movie theaters and in your home
theater as faithful as possible to what the director
intended. Movie soundtracks are mixed in special
environments called dubbing stages and are designed to
be played back in movie theaters with similar equipment
and conditions. Most of those soundtracks are remixed
using flat response loudspeakers similar to those used
in the small home theater environment before being
transferred onto Blu-ray Discs, DVD, etc. THX engineers
developed patented technologies to accurately translate
the sound from the movie theater environment into the
home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur.
On this product, when the THX indicator is on, THX
features are automatically added in Cinema modes (e.g.
THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).
Timbre Matching
The human ear changes our perception of a sound
depending on the direction from which the sound is
coming. In a movie theater, there is an array of surround
speakers so that the surround information is all around
you. In a home theater, you may only have two speakers
located to the side of your head. In this case, the Timbre
Matching feature filters the information going to the
surround speakers so that they more closely match the
tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front
speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the
front and surround speakers.
Adaptive Decorrelation
In a movie theater, a large number of surround speakers
help create an enveloping surround sound experience.
If a home theater only has two sidewall surround
speakers, the surround speakers may sound similar to
headphones lacking spaciousness and envelopment.
Surround sounds will also collapse toward the closet
speaker as you move away from the middle seating
position. Adaptive Decorrelation slightly changes one
surround channel’s time and phase relationship with
respect to the other surround experience as in a movie
theater using only two speakers.
ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)
ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes
the audio on the two side and two back surround
speakers for the optional surround sound experience.
When you set up your home theater system using eight
speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround Right,
Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround
Left, and Subwoofer), be sure to go to the THX Audio
Setup screen and choose the setting that closely
corresponds to the back speaker spacing. This will
reoptimize the surround sound field. ASA is used in four
modes: THX Select2 Cinema, THX Select2 Music, THX
Select2 Games and Dolby Pro Logic II + THX Select2
Games.
Checking the Input Format
You can check the audio format of the input signals. While
audio from the player is being input, press DISPLAY on the
remote controller several times to switch the information
shown on the main unit display. If "Dolby D 5.1" is displayed
in Signal format, the Dolby Digital 5.1 ch signals are being
input.
