Can I play DVDs and VHS tapes with THX on my regular stereo system speakers?
Yes, absolutely. Theres some confusion on this issue. The THX label on a DVD or VHS (Laser Discs, too) means that the folks at THX supervised the process that transfers the film to video. The goal is to eliminate as much as possible any degradation of picture or sound quality. This is achieved through a rigorous check against the original film to ensure colors, gray scale and sharpness are not degraded or exaggerated. The soundtrack is also treated to a similar process. Like with any DVD or VHS tape, you can play it on any DVD player or VHS player in stereo or surround. In my opinion, the THX folks have done a fantastic job of preserving the Directors original artistic vision with every movie theyve touched.
