hi ... i already try, result very impressive...
anybody have comment about this.....?

how you do it? and whats the difference?

how do you do it?

OK...firstly i want to appologise because my english not good...


3 years ago i own Pioneer VSX-AX2as with THX select 2, i don't belive
about THX before because i think we must have THX certified speakers but i'm totally wrong...

i have done MCACC and wtching movie with DTS and DD alone...
one day i tried ON the THX button and the sound a bit diffrent...
after that i calibrated my system using THX setting and the result change
my perseption about THX....after that day i never running my system without THX..
With THX my speakers produce a very crystal clear sound and you can turn up
your volume as high as you like without damage your ears...
One more big things about THX is your subwoofer control ...mmmm amazing...bro

Now i have upgrade my AVR to Pioneer LX82 because of THX and penangan BLU RAY..
LX82 is THX Ultra 2...fyi

Maybe after this i need to upgrade my subwoofer bcoz my current subwoofer lack of power
to control the impact of THX Ultra2.Perhaps upgrade to SVS subwoofer

This is simple setting and u also can DIY. Just turn ON THX speaker setting before auto calibration.
After that u just fine tune your setting and enjoy feel of THX...

Wow, that's something very useful tips though , but what type of audio cables and video you used to setup this?

speaker and cable...

main - polk audio rtia7 - audioqueat gilbraltar
center - AAD c401i - audioquest gilbraltar
hdmi - audioquest hdmi 3
subwoofer - jbl pb12 - audioquest sub 3
surround - polk audio fxia4 - pasar road
surround back - custom made - pasar road


bro...used what you got at your system now just remember you need to connect
all your 7.1 channel, THX only working with 7.1 channel, unless you just dummy
ON at your speaker setting it still working i guess....

anybody can try also and let me know what the result...

u sure?

U can try, if you do not have surround back you cannot turn ON THX select 2 or ultra 2,
it just only THX cinema....

U can read about this inside manual book.....

What AVR u are using right now...if your AVR THX certified try looking explanation
about THX setting...

my avr no thx so this does not applicable to me

SO...anybody who own the THX certified AVR....come on try this setting
you will enjoy new experiance watching movie...
no need speaker THX, no cable THX, no display THX, only AVR THX....
but you may need subwoofer with high power.... for THX ultra 2

Now i upgraded to BLU RAY master audio/Thru HD + THX ultra 2
perghhh...cannot tell, this is what we call hometheater....

"sound without quality is just noise"

So what are the THX settings you're using now with the LX82?

I think first you have to choose a THX listening mode like Surround EX or Ultra 2 Cinema, etc. Which did you choose?

Then later also have to set the THX audio setting like Loudness Plus, BGC, etc. What are your settings for this?

About the 7.1 you mentioned, I think for Pioneer choosing the THX Ultra 2 Cinema mode means it will matrix a 5.1 channel sound into 7.1 so that's why you need 7.1 speakers.

THX Cinema Elite user!
Too bad my lousy denon not THX certified.. But i thought to own a certified THX cinema, u gotta find a THX certified technician to install all ur thx stuff and even rooms accoustics must be installed by thx guy? After everything is done by the thx guy, Only tat your Cinema room can be called THX certified? correct me if i'm wrong ya. I always thought THX is for super elite guys

LOL, no one claiming to be full THX certified here . Just that they are playing around with the THX features found in their AVR. If you don't have THX certified speakers, Room etc. , doesn't mean you can't play around with your AVR THX options to see what kind of results it produces with normal non-THX speakers

Currently i used THX ultra 2 cinema ,because for cinema mode plays 5.1 ch using all 8 speakers it will giving you the best
possible movie watching experiance...
other mode i will choose depend what i'm playing...
yes... u are wright THX ultra 2 play same like matrik 5.1 into 7.1 but the diffrent is sound produce more details and clear..

u also can used 5.1 speakers to enjoy THX ultra 2 but you need to turn surround back "ON" or "YES" even though you do not connet them
if not you only can listen in THX cinema mode only...

overall the diffrent about THX is subwoofer respond like i told before.. try it and i bet you'll never enjoy your watching
without THX mode....

fyi...i already own onkyo and yamaha before ..but for me pioneer is the best (price below 10K).... ..sorry just my opinion..
this is my 5th AVR ......

what if i have rotel-1095 thx power amp?

It's time to get a thx pre/pro.

Hi geng..

- From my understanding about THX,THX SELECT2 cinema
mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8 speakersgiving the best
possible movie watching xperience.
- THX main objective is to translate the sound from the movie
theatre environment into your home.. It's a simple principle
- So as your amp capable and have THX certified,u can enjoy
it although u dont have THX certified speaker,
THX certified room accoustics and THX certified GUY

It's only my 2 cents guy...

^^^
hmm..same person??
VSX-AX2as = matyeo
matyeo = VSX-AX2as ??

We are not the same person but perhaps we are using same AVR VSX-AX2as

No we are not same person but we are good friend....
we learn about THX setting togather.....
