ULTRA2 and dts THX listening modes.
ASA (Advanced Speaker Array)
TOGETHER, CLOSE, APART
or
A proprietary THX technology that processes signals sent to the
rear speakers, optimizing the listening experience for THX Ultra2
listening modes. To maximize the effectiveness of ASA processing,
it is recommended to configure a 7-channel speaker setup in which
the rear speakers are placed close together facing the center of the
listening space.
The ASA parameter is not available unless the
5.1 THX ULTRA2, 5.1 THX MUSIC, dts THX ULTRA2, or dts THX
MUSIC listening mode is activated.
Select the TOGETHER setting if the distance between the rear
speakers is less than 1 foot (0.3m). Select the CLOSE setting if the
distance between the rear speakers is greater than 1 foot (0.3m),
but less than 4 feet (1.2m). Select the APART setting if the distance
between the rear speakers is greater than 4 feet (1.2m).
