•After running Auto Setup, when the number of used speakers has increased from the number of measured speakers.

•When you set ”Dynamic EQ®” to ”ON”, “Tone” (vpage 40) cannot be used.

Reference Level Offset

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is referenced to the standard filmmix 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.

Dynamic EQ® Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the filmlevel reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

[Selectable items]

0dB	: This is the default setting and should be used when
	listening to movies (Film Ref).
5dB	: Select this setting for content that has a very wide
	dynamic range, such as classical music.
10dB	: 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.
15dB	: 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.

Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ®” is “ON” (vpage 41).
