a. Re-EQ (THX)

Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.

This can be set to either “On” or “Off”.

You can use the Re-EQ button on the remote controller for setting “On” or “Off.”

b. Decoder (2ch)

This setting allows you to select the decoding mode for THX processing.

PL II Movie: Select for Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.

Neo:6 Cinema: Select for DTS Neo:6 Cinema.

c. THX Surround EX (Dolby D)

This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources will be played back using THX Surround EX when a surround back speaker is connected.

Auto: Select to automatically output sources with EX- identifying signals using THX Surround EX.

On: Select to output using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the source contains EX identifiers.

Off: Select not to output using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the source contains EX identifiers (Dolby D is used).

Note:

THX Surround EX (Dolby D) will not appear if the Surr Back/Zone 2 setting in the Surr Back/Zone 2 Sub-menu of the Hardware Setup Menu is set to “Zone 2.”

d. DTS-ES

This setting allows you to select the DTS-ES mode for THX processing.

Auto: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1 when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES).

On: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, and to DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 when the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag.

Off: Select to not use DTS-ES listening modes even when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag. With this setting, the DTS sources are always played in DTS 5.1 mode.

a. Front Effect

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off” so that no reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels. With this setting, the sound source is played as it is without any further reverberation.

b. Reverb Level

This setting allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors.

Select from the three settings “Low,” “Mid,” and “High.”

c. Reverb Time

Adjust the reverb time to match the source being played back and the acoustics of the room. Select from the three settings “Short,” “Mid,” and “Long.”
