Stereo Mode- The Stereo mode
engages only the front right and
left speakers.  The audio path pro-
vides for stereo separation.  The
subwoofer is also active providing
that the subwoofer is active in the
Bass Management setting found
in the Pro Setup menu.

Stereo RE-EQ -This mode will add
THX RE-EQ to the stereo chan-
nels.  This is not a full THX mode.
This mode should be used when
watching older stereo movies.

The Phantom Mode - This mode
takes the center channels informa-
tion and combines it with the sig-
nal front right and left channels.
This mode is ideal for systems not
incorporating a center channel.

Phantom ENH Mode - Phantom
Enhance Mode provides the same
surround sound decoding as the
Phantom mode but with full THX
Enhancements.

Phantom RE-EQ - This mode pro-
vides the same redirection of the
center channel information as the
Phantom mode.  This mode also
adds THX RE-EQ to the surround
sound mix.

Phantom Plus Mode - Phantom
Plus Mode will divert the center
channel information while provid-
ing decorrelation to the surround
channels.

Music Mode - This mode enables
some level of decoding, thus pass-
ing audio to all speaker channels.
Sounding like Dolby Pro Logic, this
mode does not engage any noise
reduction, resulting in a sound that
delivers additional highs.

Music Plus Mode - The Music
Plus mode in addition to Music
Mode also provides decorrelation
to the surround channels.
