subwoofer system, improving frequency response, lowering dis-
tortion and increasing dynamic range.
— Bass Peak Level Manager protects the subwoofer from overload-

up your system for an optimum listening position.
THX SURR EX
THX Surround EX is a process that decodes a back surround signal
from the left and right surround channels on specially encoded Dolby
Digital DVD movie releases. THX Surround EX uses all the process-
ing included in the THX operating mode (see above). Your system
must include one or two back/surround loudspeakers for THX
Surround EX to operate.
If the DVD has the proper encoding, the Home Theater Standard 7.1 will
recognize THX Surround EX and automatically engage the signal. Many
DVD discs include THX Surround EX information but do not encode it in a
way that a surround processor can recognize.
DTS Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of information from
stereo encoded material. 7.1 and 6.1 systems will derive six channels
from the signal while 5.1 systems will derive five channels from the
signal. DTS Neo:6 includes two modes:
DTS NEO:6 CINEMA
for two
channel matrixed movie material and
DTS NEO:6 MUSIC
for stereo
encoded music material.
The Krell Music Surround Modes simulate different soundfield experi-
ences when listening to music. The table below lists the modes and
the speakers that operate within each mode:
