But that's not what they are listing it as on the receiver. It says THX-EX. In
the case of dts, I have DVD in front of me and they call it dtsES.

Sure.
The EX in DD was not developed exclusively by Dolby. THX was the principal
technology provider. They developed this new sound format for The Fandom

enough clout to get the format accepted. They even went as far as to tell

Hi,
Isn't there a 7.1 implementation for DTS now, or is that DD?
Not sure. I know that DTS-ES are either 6.1 or 3.2:1. Perhaps it is
considered as a 7.1 system because it uses two surrounds and two center
surrounds, plus 3 frontal and a subwoofer channel? Still, it would be a 6.1,
since both
Hello, I am wondering if someone can tell me the name of those cases where
the case just slides over the individual md? I like those better than the
hinged ones. The places for labels mean nothin to me since I am totally

I'm hoping to find a deck that will do high-speed dubbing from
cassette tapes (voice, not music, so absolute hi fi isn't required)
This would be sorta convoluted, but if you had an MD deck AND a Sony JB940
deck connected to it, you could actually run your tape thru a dubbing deck
and record the
Please clarifyDon C. suggested that THX certified equipment has
nothing to do with processing, but the certification is a set of

Why would a stereo sound better with the fireplace lit? I suspect this

improvement is very plausable, as
AFAIK, THX Ultra and Select are certification processes. BUT they do add to
the decoding scheme. In Pro Logic, for example, THX applies decorrelation to
the surround channels, diffusing the mono channel and preventing sound
localization. It also does a re-eq on the original sound tracks to tame

No, they don't. THX does not do any of these things. Did you read the

Sorry you don't think so. I heard 'em both together under double blind

I wonder if Lucas owns a Mini Disc recorder? The way I look it it, if he
isn't into the format, we can discount him straight out.
No. But I'm quite sure he probably has a portable DAT recorder. Ahem.
