• THX Surround EX
"THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX" is a joint
development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of
Lucasfilm Ltd.
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with
Dolby Digital Sun'ound EX technology are able to reproduce an
extra channel which has been added dm'ing the mixing of the
program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds
behind the listener in addition to the currently available fi'ont
left, front center, front right, surround right, surround lefL and
subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for more
detailed imaging behind the lislener and brings more depth,
spacious ambience, and sound localization than ever before.
When released to the home consumer market, movies that were
created using the Dolby Digital Sun'ound EX technology, may
have a note to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies
created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site
at http://www.dolby.com <http://www.dolby.com>.
This unit can play the 5.1 ch program in THX surround EX
mode, even if the program is not encoded in Dolby Digital
Surround EX format. For this kind of program, the sound from
sun'ound back channels depends on a program and may not fit to
your tasle.
