MODE ADJUSTJBL Synthesis 5-18 DOLBY DIGITAL & DOLBY DIGITAL EX •Designed for playback of 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. The DOLBY DIGITAL EX listening mode is recommended for Dolby Digital sources recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. This listening mode can also be used with 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources with mixed results. •Listening mode name differs depending on the encoding present in the input source, the EX DECODING parameter setting, and the speaker setup. The table on the next page indicates the conditions in which Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding is engaged. •Decodes 5.1 discrete channels from 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. The five main channels are full frequency. The .1 channel, often referred to as LFE information, has a limited frequency range of 120Hz. •When the DOLBY DIGITAL EX listening mode is activated, matrix decoding derives a surround back channel from the other surround channels.

The table below indicates the conditions in which THX Ultra2 and dts-ES decoding are engaged. •Allows 7-channel playback of 5.1-channel dts sources without dts-ES encoding. •Applies THX re-equalization to simulate high-frequency rolloffs that occur in movie theaters. Most films are mixed for movie theaters, and might sound too bright when played back in home theaters without re-equalization. •Applies THX timbre matching to minimize timbre differences between the front and surround channels, which results in smoother sound movements between them.•When the dts THX ULTRA2 listening mode is activated, ASA processing is applied to signals sent to the rear speakers. Refer to the ASA parameter description on page 3-34 for more information. •When the dts THX ULTRA2 listening mode is activated, adaptive de-correlation increases the perceived width of the listening space. De-correlation of the mono surround channel increases the perceived width of the surround field in home theaters. •Recommended for home theaters with THX-certified loudspeakers.
