Sorry, but the 1014 is not THX certified--it is capable of THX decoding, which does not make it certified.
I don't know about most of you that have the 1014, but the THX settings are pretty worthless in my listening room, which is rather large. The THX reduction of high frequencies does make it sound like a theater system, but my goal is to have better sound than theaters have. Voices always sound muffled in any theater I've been to, including I-Max. Loud with boomy bass does not equate to accurate. Dolby 5.1 EX or DTS-ES settings really are outstanding with good program material, in my opinion.
