becomes active.

The Dynamic EQ indicator will light (➔ page 8).

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound

even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of

deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by

taking into account human perception and room acoustics.

It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and

surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the

content sounds the way it was created at any volume level

— not just at reference level.

Note

• These technologies cannot be used when:

– a pair of headphones is connected, or

– Direct listening mode is selected, or

– Speakers B is on, or

– Speakers A is off.

■ Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

` 0dB

It should be used when listening to movies.

` 5dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide

dynamic range, such as classical music.

` 10 dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a

wider dynamic range. This setting should also be

selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at

10 dB below film reference.

` 15 dB:

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other

program material that is mixed at very high listening

levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference.

To achieve the same reference level in a home theater

system each speaker level must be adjusted so that

–30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise

produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening

position.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film

mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference

response and surround envelopment when the volume is

turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is

not always used in music or other non-film content. The

Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three

offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and

15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the

content is not within the standard.

Note

•If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, these technologies

cannot be used.

■ Dynamic Volume

` Off

` Light:

Light Compression Mode becomes active.

` Medium:

Medium Compression Mode becomes active.

` Heavy:

Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This

setting affects volume most. It quiets the loud parts,

such as explosions, and boosts the quiet parts so they

can be heard.

Note

• If you make Dynamic Volume active, “Dynamic EQ” setting is

set to “On”. The Dynamic Vol indicator will light (➔ page 8).

• These technologies cannot be used when:

– a pair of headphones is connected, or

– Direct listening mode is selected, or

– Speakers B is on, or

– Speakers A is off.

•When “Dynamic EQ” is set to “Off”, Dynamic Volume”

become “Off” automatically.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of

deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by

taking into account human perception and room

acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency

response and surround levels moment-by-moment at

any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass

response, tonal balance, and surround impression that

remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic

EQ combines information from incoming source levels

with actual output sound levels in the room, a

prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction

solution.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large

variations in volume level between television programs,

commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of

movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume

setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of

program material is being perceived by listeners in real

time to decide whether an adjustment is needed.

Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the

necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the

desired playback volume level while optimizing the

dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic Volume works fine

by itself, but can also be used with

Audyssey Dynamic EQ. When both are on,

Audyssey Dynamic EQ adjusts the perceived bass

response, tonal balance, surround impression, and

dialog clarity whether watching movies, flipping

between television channels, or changing from stereo to

surround sound content, when Dynamic Volume adjusts

the volume.
