THX CINEMA – Cycles through the THX
CINEMA, THX SURROUND EX or THX AUTO
sound modes. Use when listening THX-
certified sources if you have THX-certified
speaker setup or want to re-create a THX-style
sound environment. It is also appropriate for
Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS sources.
Those with surround back speakers can use all
three THX modes, those without can only use
the THX CINEMA mode.
ADVANCED – Use to select one of the four
Advanced Theater modes. Use to create certain
types of sound environments when listening to
Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS sources.
STANDARD – Use for pure decoding of multi
channel sources, especially Dolby Digital, Dolby
Pro Logic or DTS sources. Each press toggles
between STANDARD and STANDARD 7.1
mode (for use with SURROUND BACK speak-
ers) and STANDARD auto (the receiver chooses
the appropriate STANDARD mode). Those with
surround back speakers can use all three
STANDARD modes, those without can only use
the STANDARD mode.
