	Hjemmekino.no - Guide - THX - Historien bak THX
		Grunnen til at denne forskningen startet, var at Tomlinson Holman, som hadde jobbet med lydsporet til filmen "Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom", spilte av Laserdisc utgivelsen av denne filmen på sin egen hjemmekino.
		Tomlinson Holman tok derfor med seg LaserDisc-platen i miksestudioet for en sammenligningstest mellom LaserDisc-platen og den originale lyden.
		Overraskende nok hørtes de helt identiske ut. Konklusjonen ble at det var de ulike akustiske forholdene i en stor kinosal/miksekino og et mindre rom, som var årsaken til den overdrevne diskanten.
