expression at low volume. This is only available when
the THX listening mode is selected.
■ Preserve THX Settings

THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control
technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX
Select2 Plus™ Certified receivers. With THX
Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can now
experience the rich details in a surround mix at any
volume level. A consequence of turning the volume
below Reference Level is that certain sound elements
can be lost or perceived differently by the listener.
THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and
spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced
by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel
levels and frequency response. This enables users
experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless
of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is
automatically applied when listening in any THX
listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music,
and THX Games modes are tailored to apply the
proper THX Loudness Plus settings for each type of
content.
With the Audio Adjust functions and settings, you can
adjust the sound and listening modes as you like.

Dolby
■ PL IIx Music (2ch Input)
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo
sources.
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these
settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro
Logic IIx.
Panorama
`On
`Off
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the
front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Music listening mode.
Dimension
`–3 to 0
to +3
With this setting, you can move the sound field
forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music listening mode. Higher settings move the
sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround
sound, move it backward.
Center Width
`0 to 3
to 7
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the
sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby
Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re
using a center speaker, the center channel sound is
output from only the center speaker. (If you’re not
using a center speaker, the center channel sound will
be distributed to the front left and right speakers to
create a phantom center.) This setting controls the
front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust
the weight of the center channel sound.
