Section 4-6
THX Mode
When listening to a source, the
THXTHX
THXTHX
THX button toggles between
the available THX decoding modes. The modes available will
change depending on the source materials encoding and the
current surround mode settings on the Maestro. Refer to
Section 6 on Surround Modes for more details about the
THX modes.
DSP Effects
The Maestro isn’t all work and no play. The Maestro features
several DSP effects modes to simulate different listening
environments. These effects provide different amounts of
delay and reverberation so your theater will sound com-
pletely different. Try them out at your next party. Refer to
the manual section on Surround Modes on page 6-6 for
more details about the DSP effects.
Display Brightness
Because everybody has different preferences in how the
equipment in their home theater should look, we have
provided a control over the brightness of the main Maestro
display. This button toggles between three display levels:
BrightBright
BrightBright
Bright,
DimDim
DimDim
Dim and
OffOff
OffOff
Off. In the Off mode, the display will
momentarily come on when any button is pressed or the
volume is changed and then return to the blank off state.
The display mode is stored in the Presets so you may notice
a change in the display brightness when you switch be-
tween Presets if they are not all stored at the same bright-
ness level.
