Neural Surround

This mode employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing, which
allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separa-
tion and localization of audio elements. The Neural Surround modes can
expand any 2-channel stereo source for 5.1- or 7.1-channel playback, respec-
tively. Use them with CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD, and other 2-chan-
nel stereo sources, including video games. Neural Surround can also be used
by broadcasters to encode and transmit surround-sound content over a stereo
signal, which listeners can enjoy as either surround sound or normal stereo.

The combination of Neural Surround and THX Cinema/Music/Games
modes can be used.

Neural Digital
Music

This is a new surround mode specifically designed to enhance the playback
of compressed digital music content. It provides listeners with an expanded
sound stage and clean surround experience, even with compressed audio
sources such as MP3s and Internet streams.
