5.1a L7 MUSIC
The 5.1a LOGIC7 MUSIC listening mode is similar to the 5.1a
LOGIC7 FILM listening mode, but specifically tailored for music
sources. This mode is designed and recommended for playback of
5.1-channel analog music sources.
See “Listening Mode Menu Option and Parameter Descriptions” on page 6-39 for
detailed descriptions

5.1a THX UL2Cin, 5.1a THX SurEX & 5.1a THX
The 5.1a THX UL2Cin, 5.1a THX SurEX, and 5.1a THX listening
modes are designed to convert 5.1-channel analog film sources that
lack THX Surround EX encoding into seven channel audio. The
modes also allow 5.1-channel analog sources to use bass manage-
ment, speaker crossovers, speaker distance calibration, and audio
controls (tone controls). The 5.1a THX UL2Cin, 5.1a THX SurEX,
and 5.1a THX listening modes are recommended for home theaters
with THX-certified speakers. These modes apply:
• THX re-equalization to simulate high-frequency rolloffs that
occur in movie theaters. Most films are mixed for movie the-
aters, and might sound too bright when played back in home
theaters without re-equalization.
• THX timbre matching to minimize timbre differences between
the front and surround channels, which results in smoother
sound movements between them.
The listening mode name differs depending on the encoding present
in the input source, the SURROUND EX parameter setting, and the
speaker setup.
The table at the top of the next page indicates the conditions in
which THX Ultra2 and THX Surround EX decoding are activated.
