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 HT-EQ feature when watching a film
made for movie theaters corrects this and restores
the correct tonal balance.
