THX Select
Before any home theatre component can be THX Select
certified, it must pass a rigorous series of quality and
performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX
Select logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theatre
products you purchase will give you superb performance for
many years to come. THX Select requirements define hundreds
of parameters, including power amplifier performance, and pre-
amplifier performance and operation for both digital and analog
domains. THX Select receivers also feature proprietary THX
technologies (e.g., THX Mode, see page 39) which accurately
translate film soundtracks for home theater playback.
