| AFAIK, THX Ultra and Select are certification processes. BUT they do add to
| the decoding scheme.
No, they don't. THX does not do any of these things. Did you read the
recently posted excerpt from the THX FAQ? THX is independant of hardware
and software. If there are 50 ways to diffuse the center channel and 25 of
them are approved by THX, then one or possibly more of those 25 schemes are
in a THX certified receiver. The same scheme or schems may also be in a
recevier that is not THX certified, and that uncertified receiver may sound
much better than the certified one.
"THX Certification" has exactly as much meaning as "Microsoft Certified
Software Engineer" or "Novell Certified Engineer". It means it passed a
test. That's *IT*.
