The Dynamic EQ indicator will light (➔ 8). With Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio- rating 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

•The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
•If Pure Audio (European and Asian models) or Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be selected.
■Reference Level
Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset
`0 dB:
It 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 reference.
`15 dB:
Select this setting for pop/rock music or other pro- gram material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.
Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film refer- ence. To achieve the same reference level in a home the- ater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the ref- erence response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film refer- ence level is not always used in music or other

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. When- ever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. 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 whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content.
