a) Re-EQ
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”.
This parameter is only enabled for the THX listening mode. Also,
this is set to “On” when the DTR-8.2 is turned on.

b) Decoder
Select the decoding mode for THX processes.

PL II: Select for Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.

Neo:6: 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: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying
signals using THX Surround EX.

On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or
not the signal contains EX identifiers.

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

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.” No reverberation from
the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front
channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further
reverberation.

b) Reverb Level
This parameter 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,” “Middle,” 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,”
“Middle,” and “Long.”
