Audyssey Settings

Audyssey EQ™ is based on the same core technology as Audyssey MultEQ® that is used for automatic correction of room acoustics. Audyssey EQ uses time-domain filters to correct problems that arise from speaker drivers and enclosures and is calibrated to account for the acoustical problems in a typical listening environment. The Audyssey EQ filters in the HT-R370 are specifically optimized for the Onkyo HTP-370 Speaker Package and should not be used with other speakers.

Dynamic EQ

Off:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ off (default).

 

On:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.

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.

Notes:

•Audyssey Dynamic EQ allows you to maintain the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level in accordance with the preset speakers.

•In order to record with appropriate sound, Audyssey EQ is automatically deactivated during a recording. After the recording is finished, Audyssey EQ and Audyssey Dynamic EQ will resume as previously set.

•Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the “6. Equalizer” on page 54 are set to “Audyssey”.

•In “Off”, “Dyn Vol” becomes “Off”.

Dyn Vol (Dynamic Volume)

Off: Audyssey 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 the most, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.

Notes:

•Other than “Off”, “Dynamic EQ” becomes “On”, and “6. Equalizer” (page 54) setting becomes “Audyssey”.

•“Dynamic Volume” becomes active when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”. Therefore, it is “Off” forcibly if “Dynamic EQ” becomes “Off”.

If Audyssey Dynanic EQ is set to “On”, Audyssey Dynamic Volume becomes available.

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 moment- by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response and tonal balance that remains 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.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

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 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.
