THX Select2 Plus

Before any home theater component can be THX Select2 Plus certified, it 

must pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can 

a product feature the THX Select2 Plus logo, which is your guarantee that 

the Home Theater products you purchase will give you superb performance 

for many years to come. THX Select2 Plus requirements define hundreds of 

parameters, including power amplifier performance, and pre-amplifier

performance and operation for both digital and analog domains. THX Select2 

Plus receivers also feature

proprietary THX technologies (e.g., THX Mode) which accurately translate 

movie soundtracks for home theater

playback.
