* 1995 A: The audio was remixed digitally in [[Dolby|Dolby Digital]], [[DTS]], and [[Sony Dynamic Digital Sound|SDDS]] with then-new technology (with the latter system even having a special end variant). | * 1995 A: The audio was remixed digitally in [[Dolby|Dolby Digital]], [[DTS]], and [[Sony Dynamic Digital Sound|SDDS]] with then-new technology (with the latter system even having a special end variant). | ||
* 1995 B: Probably the most recognizable THX trailer variant. It was exclusive to home video releases and revised a bit more. The gray text reading "The Audience is Listening" is replaced with "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Video and Audio Performance" in a rounded Arial Light font in white and arranged in the center of the outline. That text appears longer than the regular version, and "DIGITALLY" appears above the THX logo and "MASTERED" appears below that logo. Those texts fade in with the THX logo instead of appearing after the blue outline disappears, and they sparkle while the THX logo shines | * 1995 B: Probably the most recognizable THX trailer variant.

* 1995 C: Both the audio and the trailer is shorter than the standard 1984-1997 theatrical version. The audio (in this, and both 1995 A & B variants) is also in +2 higher (on VHS & LD; +3 on PAL releases), or -1.5 lower on DVDs. | * 1995 C: Both the audio and the trailer is shorter than the standard 1984-1997 theatrical version.

* On LaserDisc releases from THX, the blue rectangle appears as usual, but with a difference: the message reads "Mastered and Duplicated for Audio and Video Performance" in Arial Narrow font. When the THX logo appears, [LASER I/ DISC] appears under THX. The logo shines after the blue rectangle fades out. The pitch is +2 pitches higher (an E note) on analog tracks, like the VHS variant; though on AC-3 tracks, various pitches are used (see below). | * On LaserDisc releases from THX, the blue rectangle appears as usual, but with a difference: the message reads "Mastered and Duplicated for Audio and Video Performance" in Arial Narrow font.

* 2010 A: "The Audience is Listening" text is replaced with "Digitally mastered for superior sound and picture quality," in the same Arial font (à la 1995 B). Debuted on home entertainment releases starting with ''Star Wars: The Original Trilogy'' Blu-ray. | * 2010 A: "The Audience is Listening" text is replaced with "Digitally mastered for superior sound and picture quality," in the same Arial font (à la 1995 B).

* On the 1994 LaserDisc of ''Night of the Living Dead'', the Elite Entertainment logo fades to the THX LaserDisc logo (perhaps fitting since the former logo was also surrounded by a blue box). | * On the 1994 LaserDisc of ''Night of the Living Dead'', the Elite Entertainment logo fades to the THX LaserDisc logo (perhaps fitting since the former logo was also surrounded by a blue box). | ||
* On the 1997 Mexican VHS releases of Star Wars films ''A New Hope'', ''The Empire Strikes Back'' and ''Return of the Jedi'', the 1995 B "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Video and Audio Performance" variant is translated in Spanish, reading "Masterizada digitalmente para una óptima reproducción de audio y video". The latter two films have slight differences, with ''The Empire Strikes Back'' having the words "óptima" and "reproducción" switched, and ''Return of the Jedi'' having a dot at the end of the sentence. | |||
