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.

1 Select an input source.

Like the other surround effects, Cinema Re-EQ is not set universally, but for each input source separately.

Since the Cinema Re-EQ effect is designed to work with Dolby surround software, ADVANCED THEATER (STANDARD) mode is switched on automatically when Cinema Re-EQ is switched on. Likewise, if any other ADVANCED THEATER mode except STANDARD is switched off while Cinema Re-EQ is on, Cinema Re-EQ will also be switched off.

DSP effects cannot be used together with Cinema Re-EQ. Switching on Cinema Re-EQ will automatically switch off any DSP effect currently set.

3 Playback the source material.

Cinema Re-EQ can safely be switched during playback.
