Using Cinema Re-Equalization
Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-EQ on or
off. 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.
Remote cotroller only
On: Select to turn on the re-equalization filter.
Off: Select to turn off the re-equalization filter.
Note:
The Re-EQ function is effective on the Dolby Pro Logic II Surround
and Dolby Digital Surround.
