Troubleshooting | Appendix

■ 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.

■ Pure Audio

This mode reproduces the original sound more faithfully.

The display and analog video circuit are turned off to

provide purer sound.

•

Selecting this mode turns off the analog video circuitry,

so the video signals input through the jacks other than

the HDMI input jack cannot be displayed on the TV.

•

This cannot be selected when using the Multi-zone

feature. Activating the Multi-zone feature while this

mode is selected automatically switches the listening

mode to Direct.

■ Stereo

In this mode, sound is output from the front left and right

speakers and subwoofer.

■ Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock or 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.

■ T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

In this mode, you can enjoy a virtual playback of

multichannel surround sound even with only two or three

speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the

listener's left and right ears.

■ THX

THX is a series of specifications for the accurate

reproduction of movies propounded by the film director

George Lucas. THX listening modes include the THX

Cinema mode, and using technology such as THX

Loudness Plus and Timbre Matching, the sound of a movie

theater is reproduced accurately.

THX technology:

A movie soundtrack is mixed in large-scale theater

specially made for mixing that is called a dubbing stage

on the assumption that the soundtrack is played in such

theaters with similar equipment and conditions. These

sound tracks are recorded as is, even when recording

to a DVD-Video, for example, without making any

modifications to suit a home theater. THX technology is

able to reproduce the theater sound in a home theater

environment by minimizing acoustic and spatial deviation.

•

THX Loudness Plus

THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology

featured in THX Ultra2 Plus and THX Select2 Plus certified

AV receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater

audiences can experience the rich details of surround

sound at any volume level. If the volume is turned down

below the reference level, elements of sound in a certain

range are lost or the sound is perceived differently by

audience. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the

tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume level

is reduced, by intelligently correcting the levels of the

surround channels and their frequency response in the

environment.

•

Re-EQ

The speakers for the front channel are installed behind the

screen in a movie theater. For this reason the high range

is enhanced in the front channel of the sound track to take

account of acoustic characteristics such as the necessity

to penetrate the screen. Re-EQ adjusts soundtrack with

enhanced high range to make it suitable for home theater.

•

Timbre Matching

The perception of the human ear differs depending on the

direction of the sound. Movie theaters have many surround

speakers installed so they are great at surrounding the

viewer with natural sound, but home theaters have only

two surround speakers installed. The Timbre Matching

function filters the signals sent to the surround speakers

and adjusts the tonal characteristics of front speakers and

surround speakers to create smooth sound movement

from front speakers to surround speakers.

•

Adaptive Decorrelation

Although movie theaters have many surround speakers

to surround the room with sound, home theaters normally

have only two surround speakers. Such two surround

speakers give a headphone-like sound, not a broad and

embracing surround sound. If the listener moves away

from the middle of the surround speakers, sound from

the surround speakers mixes with that from the near

speakers and cannot be distinguished any more. Adaptive

Decorrelation slightly changes the time axis and phase

between the surround channels so you can enjoy the same

kind of breadth of sound you can in a movie theater even

with only two surround speakers.

•

ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)

ASA is a technology patented by THX to provide a broad

surround sound experience by adjusting the side and back

surround speaker sounds respectively. When installing the

surround back speakers, first select the distance between

the two surround back speakers in the THX Audio settings.

This setting optimizes the surround sound environment.

THX listening modes:

–

THX Cinema: Use in a home theater environment

for playing a soundtrack that was recorded with the

intention of it being played in a movie theater or similar

large area. In this mode, THX Loudness Plus is set to

the theater level and Re-EQ, Timbre Matching, and

Adaptive Decorrelation are all enabled.

–

THX Games: Use for high-fidelity spatial reproduction of

game sound. THX Loudness Plus is set to a level suited

to the audio level of the game and Timbre Matching is

enabled.

–

THX Music : Use mainly for music sources that are

clearly mastered to a much higher quality than movie

audio. THX Loudness Plus is set to a level suited to the

playback of music and Timbre Matching is enabled.

–

THX S2 Cinema (THX Select2 Cinema): The THX

Select2 Cinema mode provides a high-quality surround

sound experience by expanding movie sources

recorded in 5.1 ch for 7.1 ch playback. In this mode,

the THX ASA processing technology gives smooth

transition between side and back surround sounds
