5-7
PLIIx + & PLII +
These listening modes are designed to playback 7.1 (PLIIx) or 5.1 (PLII)
discrete channels decoded from 2-channel Dolby Surround encoded
sources. The seven or five main channels are full frequency. The
.1 channel, often referred to as LFE information, has a limited
frequency range of up to 120Hz. The PLIIx + THX listening mode is
only available when the front, side and rear speakers are present. These
modes are recommended for home theaters with THX certified
speakers.
Note:
The PLIIx + THX mode does not appear in the list of available listening
modes if either the side or rear speakers are missing from the configuration.
Dolby PLII(x) + THX encoding:
• Applies THX re-equalization to simulate high frequency rolloffs
that occur in movie theaters. Most films are mixed for movie
theaters, and might sound too bright when played back in
home theaters without re-equalization.
• Applies THX timbre matching to minimize timbre differences
between the front and surround channels, which results in
smoother sound movements between them.

and rear speakers are present.
