??? 'Buggering about?" What we are talking about is proper and
necessary setup procdures.


Indeed, and the difference that getting the correct adjustments
absolutely correct is significant. Cinema 5.1 systems are set up by a
trained installer and the set-up menus are password protected to stop
the cinema staff from "buggering about" with them afterwards.

And the cinema will have reasonable acoustic treatment - essential for
anything like this to work as intended.


Oh indeed. The cinema I help run was built in 1911, well before the start of
the "talkies", nevertheless it (fortuitously?) has excellent acoustics. It's
now a Grade 2* listed building, so any alterations, such as additional
acoustic treatment, would need listed building consent. Fortunately this has
not proved necessary.
