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.

and Dolby Digital Surround.
