I was wondering exacly what those cinema "Re-EQ" modes found on some receivers (and all THX receivers) do? What frequencies? By how many decibels?I was noticing that some DVDs I have watched, especially THX releases of "older" films (Jaws, Close Encounters, Jurassic Park) can sound almost unbearably bright on my system. Since my receiver provides considerably flexibility in it's parametric EQ for each channel, I was wondering how to duplicate the Re-EQ feature to see if that would help these DVDs.
Thanks,

Follow Ups:
I believe that there is no standard for re-eq, so its effect may vary from brand to brand. I have found that the easiest way to hear the effect of re-eq on my Integra 6.2 is by playing a music CD with lots of high frequencies in it (like drum cymbals, etc.) in DPL2 and then switching the cinema re-eq in and out. There is a definite cut in treble with re-eq.
Cinema ReEq compensates for the HF tilt given to some soundtracks that are adjusted for a speakers placement behind a screen at a theater.I would bet it will be difficult to get exact details on the ReEq feature.
