Notes
• “Audyssey Front”, “Audyssey Flat” and
“Audyssey” can be selected after executing the
Auto Setup feature.
• If a speaker that was determined “No” in Auto
Setup is manually turned on, the “Audyssey”,
“Audyssey Front” and “Audyssey Flat” modes
cannot be selected.
• If, after auto setup was performed, changes were made
to the settings, such as the speaker confi guration and
distance, channel levels and crossover frequencies,
without increasing the number of speakers whose
characteristics were measured, “*” will be displayed
for the name of the mode.
Example: “Audyssey Flat*”
• The equalizer turns off when the Pure Direct
mode, Source Direct mode, Dolby Headphone or
Virtual mode is set.
• Acoustic EQ Modes are not used during playback
of Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, or DTS-
HD signals.
Even in this case, settings made using Speaker
Auto Setup (speaker yes/no, distance, size,
channel level, crossover) are enabled.
• Tone Control is disabled when an EQ Mode is in
use.
• Adjust User EQ :
“6-1 ADJUST USER EQ” (see page 39)
• Check Audyssey MultEQ ® :
“6-2 CHECK AUDYSSEY MULTEQ” (see page 39)
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ TM :
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased
by taking into account human perception and room
acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem
with Audyssey MultEQ to provide well-balanced
sound for every listener at any volume level.
Select “On” or “Off” with the 1 or 2 cursor
buttons.
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ TM Adjust :
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard
fi lm mix level of 85 dB SPL for -20 dBFS. Due to
the lack of standards outside the fi lm industry, the
fi lm reference level may not be appropriate when
listening to other material.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ Adjust provides three offsets
from the fi lm 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.
0 dB (Film Ref):
This is the default setting and should be used when
listening to movies.
5 dB:
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
referencce.
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.
Note
If Dynamic EQ is set to “Off”, these settings cannot
be selected.
• Audyssey Dynamic Volume TM :
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. Audyssey Dynamic
EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as
the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the
perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround
impression and dialog clarity remain the same.
The amount of compression can be set to any of
three levels.
Select “Light”, “Medium”, “Heavy” or “Off” with
the
1 or 2 cursor buttons.
Note
When Audyssey Dynamic EQ is off, Audyssey
Dynamic Volume cannot be used.
To change Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Audyssey
Dynamic Volume using the remote controller, press
the D.EQ/VOL button. Each time this button is
pressed, the mode changes in the sequence shown
below.
Off → Audyssey Dynamic EQ: On,
Audyssey Dynamic Volume: Off
