DBOX THEATERS MOVIE
So, jump cut ahead to last June and the manager of the local Frank’s movie theater chain came into my custom install showroom one Saturday afternoon. The subtle sway and tilting and rumbling as you watched the snowspeeders take on the AT-AT walkers in “Empire” really made you feel a part of the on-screen action. But, with the effect dialed down to a more realistic level, the D-Box seating added an extra layer of enjoyment to the movie-watching experience. To ensure that people really felt the system in action and got a gee-whiz 2-minute demo, they turned the motion effect to maximum, akin to playing a subwoofer with the volume knob cranked to 11. And after sitting through the demo-which included a lengthy clip from The Empire Strikes Back-I was a long way toward being a convert.ĭ-BOX’s Mario Thibeault told me that for years manufacturers and dealers had been demoing the system incorrectly. I couldn’t imagine a two-hour movie like that.įast-forward a bit in time and we come to the CES this past January where a consortium of manufacturers combined to give “The Unforgettable Home Theater Experience.” Among these manufacturers was D-BOX.Īt first I was a bit leery, but I was told that they had made some adjustments to the system and that I should give it another try. I found the effect distracting and so overdone that it completely pulled me out of the movie and left me feeling a bit nauseous like I had been sitting on the deck of a boat in a storm, pitching and yawing. A character would nearly fall over a cliff and you would be jolted forward in your seat.īack then, to be frank, I pretty much hated this type of experience. Many of these demonstrations included D-BOX motion seating, which featured advanced electronics and power actuators that moved them in coordination with the action on screen a car would take a hard turn and the D-BOX seat would pitch to the left. People would line up like it was a ride at Disneyland, and then wait hours to get a shot at seeing one of these killer demos. Think back to the days of the epic CEDIA booth, when Runco reigned like a returning king and would pair with giants like Krell and Stewart and California Audio Technology (CAT) to build virtual cities that would then show the most amazing 15-minute demos at the CEDIA EXPO.
