THX Ultra 2 Operation Overview
Key:
Re-EQ
– De-emphasizes treble in L/R Front and Center channels. Defeatable by turning Re-EQ:Off
Timbre
– Matches the sound character, or timbre, of the surround channels to the front channels.
Adp-Decor – When content of L/R-Surrounds is mono, adjusts time and phase to restore spaciousness.
ASA (Cin)
– Blends Surrounds and Rear for optimal mix of ambient and directional surround sounds.
ASA (Mus) – Applied to the Surrounds of all 5.1 music sources to provide a wide stable rear soundstage.
