THX Optimizer

For the best possible playback, each THX Certified DVD features THX Optimizer, an easy-to-use on-screen calibration tool for home theater systems. THX Optimizer helps you fine-tune your audio and video settings through a series of test signals. These test signals allow you to match the reference levels used during the DVD mastering process – giving you the exact sound and picture presentation that the filmmaker wanted you to experience.

THX Optimizer offers a quick and easy solution on how to set color, tint, contrast and sharpness, as well as check speaker assignments, phase and crossovers on your surround sound system.
