18 Audio-Video Receiver KRF-X9992D
How Do I Adjust the Sound?
Although a full set of speakers (front left and right, center,
surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true
Dolby Digital surround sound, this receiver lets you enjoy
Dolby Digital program sources, even if you connect fewer
speakers.
• MPEG: MPEG, which stands for “Moving Pictures Experts
Group”, is an international standard of digital video and
audio compression and decompression in media. It is the
most efficient encoding method for compressed multi-
channel audio which provides the highest sound quality to
deliver the best movie theater sound into the home.
• THX: Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres
called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in
movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions. The
soundtrack created for movie theatres is then transferred
directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not
changed for playback in a smal home theatre environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately
translate the sound from the movie theatre environment into
the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur.
On the KRF-X9992D, when the THX mode is on, the THX
technologies are automatically added after the decoded
signal.
