VII. Advanced Features
A. Front-panel VU meter:
TheaterMaster provides a front-panel Output VU Meter Screen (see figure, page 16). This
screen allows the user to monitor activity in the left and right front channels (LF and RF)
during Stereo playback, and in all six channels during surround-sound playback To access
this screen, simply press the
MainScreen
ó ó
VU Meter
button, on page 1 of the remote’s
TheaterMaster device., or DISP

or DISP

on page 4 of the same device.
This VU Meter is calibrated to read full scale at full rated output. Each pixel below full scale
represents a level decrement of -6 dB, down to a minimum level of -90 dB.
While in this screen, pressing
↵ ↵
will momentarily display speaker labels. To return to The-
aterMaster’s Main Screen, simply press the MainScreen
ó ó
VU-Meter button again ( or

).
B. High-frequency equalization ( CinEQ™ 5-channel cinema equalization):
Some movies mixed for movie theaters can seem overly bright when played back through a
true, full-range, high-end sound system. For this reason, TheaterMaster offers CinEQ™
— a proprietary, high-quality digital high-frequency roll-off filter for such overly bright mate-
rial. This high-frequency equalization is activated or deacitivated by pressing
CinEQ
on page
4 of the remote’s TheaterMaster device. CinEQ is remembered input-by-inpu, and it is can-
celled automatically by going to Standby mode. When CinEQ is active, “EQ” is displayed on
TheaterMaster’s Main Screen (see figure, page 31).
Note: Unlike the Lucasfilm Home THX Re-Equalization® curve, EAD’s CinEQ™ cinema equalization is applied
to all
five
full-range channels. (THX re-equalizes only the front channels, which is rather ineffective for
5.1-channel soundtracks and musical recordings.) CinEQ is disabled in Stereo and Matrix playback modes to prevent
possible incompatibilities with HDCD. To enable CinEQ in these playback modes, the HDCD override DIP switch
#5 must be turned ON. (See Chapter III: “G. Choosing speakers to be rolled off”.)
