THX Select

Before any home theater component can be THX

Select certiﬁed, it must pass a rigorous series of qual-

ity and performance tests. Only then can a product

feature the THX Select logo, which is your guarantee

that the Home Theater products you purchase will

give you superb performance for many years to come.

THX Select requirements deﬁne hundreds of parame-

ters, including power ampliﬁer performance, and pre-

ampliﬁer performance and operation for both digital

and analog domains. THX Select receivers also fea-

ture proprietary THX technologies (e.g., THX Mode)

which accurately translate movie soundtracks for

home theater playback.
