There are three distinct aspects to the THX enhancements, Re-Equal-
ization, Timbre Match, and Decorrelation. These enhancements can
be applied to either Dolby Digital (AC-3) or Dolby Pro Logic modes.
Furthermore, they can be applied in part or in full (THX).
When you select the AC-3 THX or PROLOGIC THX modes, all three
enhancements are active (On). When you select the AC-3 RE-EQ
or PROLOG RE-EQ modes, the re-equalizer is active (On) and the
Timbre Match and Decorrelation filters are off.
While these fixed modes permit instant access to certain THX en-
hancements, the Cinema Reference also permits you to customize
inputs set to either an AC-3 or Pro Logic mode. Thus, you can se-
lectively turn the Re-EQ, Timbre Match, and Decorrelation enhance-
ments to on or off, individually, when in the Pro Setup mode.
If you are interested in dabbing with the effects of Re-EQ, Timbre
Match, and Decorrelation, you can do so following the steps below.
1
While in the Pro Setup Mode, turn the MODE knob until the
display reads either RE-EQUALIZE, TIMBRE MATCH, or
DECORRELATE and then press the MODE knob. The
Cinema Reference’s display will read RE-EQUALIZE (TIM-
BRE MATCH or DECORRELATE) on the top line and the
second line will read “IS NOW ON” or “IS NOW OFF”.
2
Turn the MODE knob until the display reads the correct set-
ting for the particular THX enhancement, ON or OFF.
Since each Input has its own default mode, you can set
the THX enhancement to on or off for other Input Labels
by turning the INPUT knob and scrolling through all in-
puts. Please note, some modes will not allow you to turn
on and off certain THX enhancements.
3
To exit the RE-EQUALIZE, TIMBRE MATCH, or
DECORRELATE Setup Modes without leaving the Pro
Setup Mode, press the MODE knob. If you wish to exit
the Setup Mode completely, turn any of the knobs other
than MODE or INPUT.
Pro Setup - THX - Re-EQ, Timbre Match, & Decorrelate
The Cinema Reference
permits you to turn selectively
engage the Re-Equalization,
Timbre Match, and
Decorrelation filters
individually. These
enhancements, when all three
are on, are equal to full THX.
Thus, you can more simply
turn all three enhancements to
on by simply selecting either
the AC-3 THX or PROLOGIC
THX modes using the MODE
knob.
You can also directly select
the AC-3 RE-EQ or PROLOG
RE-EQ modes using the
MODE knob. Please note, that
these enhancements are only
available on a Dolby Digital
(AC-3) mode or Dolby Pro
Logic mode.
If you wish to alter either one
of these three enhancement
filters, you can do so under
the Pro Setup.
