0IMAX Enhanced (v p. 318)
This IMAX Enhanced product have met stringent performance
standards established by IMAX and DTS in order to create a consistent
and higher bar for sound performance. DTS has developed a special
method for reproducing an IMAX signature sound experience in the
consumer’s home. This method combines a unique conversion process
for IMAX theatrical audio mixes utilizing an enhanced DTS codec
technology. The IMAX theatrical audio format with point source
surround speakers closely matches the speaker configuration most
consumers have in their homes today. Coupled with DTS audio
technology, IMAX Enhanced audio products will ensure the best and
most accurate audio reproduction over 5.1 or more speaker channels.
0Audyssey LFC™ (Low Frequency Containment) (v p. 185)
Audyssey LFC™ solves the problem of low frequency sounds
disturbing people in neighboring rooms or apartments. Audyssey LFC™
dynamically monitors the audio content and removes the low
frequencies that pass through walls, floors and ceilings. It then applies
psychoacoustic processing to restore the perception of low bass for
listeners in the room. The result is great sound that no longer disturbs
the neighbors.
0Discrete subwoofers and Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ (v p. 205)
The unit has four subwoofer output capability and can adjust the level
and delay for each subwoofer individually.
Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ makes the integration seamless by first
compensating for any level and delay differences between the four
subwoofers and then applying Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 to four
subwoofers together for improved deep bass response and detail.
