Audyssey Dynamic EQTM

■DynamicEQ (Applies to Non-THX Listening Modes)

■THX+DynamicEQ (Applies to THX Listening Modes)

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorat- ing 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.

Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.

On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.

Notes:

•Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the “Equalizer Settings” on page 78 are set to “Audys- sey”.

•When “Loudness Plus” is set to “On” (see page 80), the THX+Dynamic EQ is not available even with THX listening mode selected.

Music Optimizer

■M.Optimizer

The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound qual- ity of compressed music files. Use it with music files that use “lossy” compression, such as MP3.

Off: Music Optimizer off (default).

On: Music Optimizer on.

Note:

The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48 kHz and analog audio input signals. The Music Opti- mizer is disabled when the Pure Audio or Direct listen- ing mode is selected.

Speaker Levels

You can adjust the volume of each speaker while listen- ing to an input source.

These temporary adjustments are cancelled when the AV receiver/AV amplifier is set to Standby.

■Subwoofer

You can adjust the level from –15.0 dB to +12.0 dB.

■Center

You can adjust the level from –12.0 dB to +12.0 dB.

Notes:

•You cannot use this function while the AV receiver/ AV amplifier is muted.

•Speakers that are set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration” cannot be adjusted (see page 73).

A/V Sync

■A/V Sync

When using progressive scanning on your DVD player, you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync. With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the audio signals. You can set it from 0 to 250 milliseconds (ms) in 5 millisecond steps.

Notes:

•This setting is not available when the Pure Audio lis- tening mode is used, or the Direct listening mode is used with an analog input signal.

•This setting is not available when the multichannel DVD input is selected.
