*The original audio mix for this trailer was recalled due to | *The original audio mix for this trailer was recalled due to its potential to break theater speakers, and was used until 1990. The appearance of the box is accompanied by the sound of an orchestra warming up, which fades out as the conductor's hand appears. Once it flicks the baton, a booming, descending synth note accompanies the hyperspeed boost, overlapped by an orchestra crescendo as it reaches its peak. When the THX logo appears in the abyss, the descending synth is played again with less distortion. An ascending string note slowly becomes prominent as the THX logo appears before it replaces the synth note entirely as it reaches its peak, representing the Deep Note. Twinkling sounds play as the "'''The Audience is Listening'''" text appears, and echo until the end of the trailer. | ||
*In 1990, a new orchestral piece composed by James Horner was introduced to replace the original, problematic audio. The trailer still begins with an orchestra warming up, but the loud descending note following the conductor flicking his baton is replaced with a rousing orchestral cue; whistling sounds accompany the hyperspeed boost as the cue reaches a crescendo before abruptly fading out. (not in the original version of ''WOW!'' except for the 2002 & Vimeo releases), As the THX logo appears, a slightly quieter series of ascending string notes is heard, representing the Deep Note; a "whoosh" accompanies the THX logo zooming in. Wind chimes, played in the same pitch as the string notes that preceded it, accompany the appearance of the "'''The Audience is Listening'''" text. | *In 1990, a new orchestral piece composed by James Horner was introduced to replace the original, problematic audio.

*The 1990 music variant debuted on the LaserDisc, ''THX WOW!''. The music on this release seems to be unfinished, as the whistling sounds at the start are absent, as is the "whoosh" that accompanies the THX logo zooming in. | *The 1990 music variant debuted on the LaserDisc, ''THX WOW!''.
