CINEMA RE-EQ™ :Select to active the Cinema Re-EQ™ with Left or Right cursor button.

The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home. This is because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie theater environments. Activating the Cinema Re-EQ™ feature when watching a film made for movie theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal balance.

Cinema Re-EQ™ is therefore not necessary for material that was not designed for movie theaters (for example, sports programming, television shows, made for TV movies, etc..).

The Cinema Re-EQ™ feature can be activated only while in Dolby Pro Logic Mode, or while decoding Dolby Digital or DTS encoded material.

LFE LEVEL : Select the output level of the LFE signal included in the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal. Select 0dB, -10 dB or OFF with Left or Right cursor button.
