Using Cinema Re-EQ
THX Cinema Re-EQ* is a process developed by Lucasfilm, Ltd. to make Dolby Surround soundtracks originally intended
for playback at movie theaters sound more natural when played through a typical home theater set up. Due to
differences in room acoustics and the kind of speakers typically used in movie theaters compared to those found in the
home, some movie soundtracks can sound overly 'bright' when played on home systems. Cinema Re-EQ compensates
for these differences for a more accurate presentation.

switched off.
DSP

Cinema Re-EQ will automatically switch off any
DSP
effect currently set.
