Ambience effects THX Surround EX mode
THX Surround EX is an extension of THX which was jointly developed by Lucasfilm THX and Dolby Laboratories. This new technology is able to place sound directly behind the listener as it allows the sound mixers to encircle the listener with 360-degree pans. THX Surround EX is able to redirect bass energy in the surround back channels to the subwoofer. It requires re-equalization of the surround back channels to match the charecteristics of the front and left or right surround channels. It also consist of the basic THX features such as Re-equalization (ReEQ), Timbre Matching, Adaptive Decorrelation, Bass Peak Level Manager and Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronisation.
The DTS-ES (Digital Theater System-Extended Surround) represents 6.1-channel Discrete Surround format, expanding upon 5.1 surround. DTS-ES format is a 6.1 channel sound system for movie theaters that includes an additional surround center channel matrixed within surround left and surround right. Its compatible on predecessor DTS 5.1 system. The extra channel allows more accurate placement and steering of sound accross the rear soundstage.The DTS-ES receiver will be required, to experience a discrete 6.1-channel mix. The DTS-ES decoders used in home cinema systems have decoding options for utilizing the extra channel, in addition to processing existing 5.1 channel surround sound : DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 add the surround back channel audio to the DTS 5.1-channel format to improve the acoustic positioning and makes acoustic image movement more natural with the 6.1-channel reproduction. NEO:6 is a new technology which decodes 2-channel signals into 6channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology. For the best results, DTS-ES should be used with movie sound tracks recorded with DTS-ES format which contain a digital flag that will automatically activate this feature. However, for some titles, this feature has to be activated manually. According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either the NEO:CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.

What's DSP?

DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor. The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in various places). The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the original signal.
* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate nondirectional bass singnals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.
Multi channel surround sound (SRS Circle Surround II)
SRS Circle Surround II improves on its predecessor CS-5.1 resulting in the CS-6.1 system, enabling you to listen to realistic, multi-channel, surround sound playback from a stereo source or conventional surround-encoded video source. You already enjoy listening to Dolby Digital sound/DTS multi-channel sound with your multi-speakers. Now you can listen to audio CDs, MDs, Broadcast and Home Theater using your multi-speakers. You will discover a new type of sound through SRS Circle Surround II. The CS system dramatically reduces storage space requirements for multi-channel content. It creates a listening environment that places the listener inside music performances, and dramatically improves both hi-fi audio and conventional surround-encoded video material. The CS decoder also includes the SRS technologies Focus and TruBass. Focus electronically raises the sound stage from the speaker location to an optimal position. TruBass creates deep, rich bass in small speaker systems without the need for a subwoofer.
