THX Select2 Plus
Before any home theater component can be THX Select2
Plus certified, it must pass a rigorous series of quality and
performance tests. Only then can a product feature the
THX Select2 Plus logo, which is your guarantee that the
Home Theater products you purchase will give you
superb performance for many years to come. THX
Select2 Plus requirements define hundreds of parameters,
including power amplifier performance, and pre-
amplifier performance and operation for both digital and
analog domains. THX Select2 Plus receivers also feature
proprietary THX technologies (e.g., THX Mode) which
accurately translate movie soundtracks for home theater
playback.
