Advanced Speaker Array™ (ASA)
When you set up your home theater system using all
eight speaker outputs and the two surround back
speakers are placed close together as shown in the
diagram in
THX speaker system setup on page 91, the
surround sound experience is optimized for THX Ultra2™
Cinema and THX MusicMode.
THX's ASA circuitry will automatically detect DTS-ES
(Matrix and 6.1Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX
encoded soundtracks for correct playback using all 8
speakers.
Please note that some Dolby Digital Surround EX
soundtracks are missing the digital flag that allows ASA
to switch automatically. Therefore, if you know that the
movie that you are watching is encoded in Surround EX,
you may manually select the THX Surround EX playback
mode.
THX Ultra2™ Cinema mode
This mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakers giving
you the best possible movie watching experience. In this
mode ASA processing blends the side surround
speakers and back surround speakers giving you the
optimal mix of ambient and directional surround sounds.
THX MusicMode™
ASA technology optimizes playback of 5.1 encoded
music sources such as DTS and Dolby Digital using all 8
speakers in your setup.
Boundary Gain Compensation™
Depending on the listener’s and the subwoofer’s
position, the listener may experience an excessive bass
effect. This feature compensates for excessive bass
resulting from a boundary gain effect. This feature is
designed to operate when used with a subwoofer
certified to THX Ultra2™ specifications.
