THX Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure
movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the direc-
tor intended. THX Modes carefully optimize the tonal and spatial character-
istics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the home-theater environment.
They can be used with 2-channel matrixed and multichannel sources. Sur-
round back speaker output depends on the source material and the selected
listening mode.
