Regardless of what it says on the receiver, the sound format is DD-EX (a
derivative or development of Dolby Digital Surround Sound). THX is merely a
certification standard for the equipment - it in no way is a different sound
format to either DD-EX or any other form of DD.

DTS tends to be written in lower case - agreed. My only point being that
THX, does not in itself imply or define any difference in the sound format -
that's not what it is. Perhaps some manufacturers are abusing the concept, I
don't know - but the sound format(s) are Dolby creations - check their
website for details.
The THX thing is purely a standard or certification for the kit.
