These standards were designed to emulate a film sound stage and thus reproduce, with the greatest possible accuracy, the soundtrack intended by the filmmakers. You will only be able to access the second two modes if you have hooked up SURROUND BACK speakers. The display will show you what kind of source (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. ) is being played. THX CINEMA Use this mode to get THX sound with sources that do not have SURROUND BACK channels. If you don't have SURROUND BACK speaker(s) switched on (see p. 32-33) this is the only THX mode you will be able to select on the receiver. THX SURROUND EX This mode is specifically for using your SURROUND BACK channels with either SURROUND EX or 5. 1 channel sources. You will only be able to access this mode if you have set the SURROUND BACK speakers in the SPEAKER SETTING procedure (see p. 32-33).
