About THX
The THX technologies a r e ex p lained below. See
www.thx.com fo r mo r e detailed info r mation.
• THX Cinema processing
THX is an exclusive set of standa r ds and technologies established by
THX Ltd. THX g r ew f r om Geo r ge Lucas’ p e r sonal desi r e to make you r
ex p e r ience of the film soundt r ack, in both movie theat r es and in you r
home theat r e, as faithful as p ossible to what the di r ecto r intended.
Movie soundt r acks a r e mixed in s p ecial movie theat r es called
dubbing stages and a r e designed to be p layed back in movie theat r es
with simila r equi p ment and conditions. This same soundt r ack is then
t r ansfe rr ed di r ectly onto Lase r disc, VHS ta p e, DVD, etc., and is not
changed fo r p layback in a small home theat r e envi r onment. THX
enginee r s develo p ed p atented technologies to accu r ately t r anslate
the sound f r om the movie theat r e envi r onment into the home,
co rr ecting the tonal and s p atial e rr o r s that occu r . On this pr oduct,
when the THX indicato r is on, THX featu r es a r e automatically added
in Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Su rr ound EX).
• Re-Equalization
The tonal balance of a film soundt r ack will be excessively b r ight and
ha r sh when p layed back ove r audio equi p ment in the home because
film soundt r acks we r e designed to be p layed back in la r ge movie
theate r s using ve r y diffe r ent pr ofessional equi p ment. Re-Equalization
r esto r es the co rr ect tonal balance fo r watching a movie soundt r ack in
a small home envi r onment.
• Timbre Matching
The human ea r changes ou r p e r ce p tion of a sound de p ending on the
di r ection f r om which the sound is coming. In a movie theat r e, the r e is
an a rr ay of su rr ound s p eake r s so that the su rr ound info r mation is all
a r ound you. In a home theat r e, you use only two s p eake r s located to the
side of you r head. The Timb r e Matching featu r e filte r s the info r mation
going to the su rr ound s p eake r s so that they mo r e closely match the
tonal cha r acte r istics of the sound coming f r om the f r ont s p eake r s. This
ensu r es seamless p anning between the f r ont and su rr ound s p eake r s.
