Adjusting the Listening Modes—Continued

Audyssey Dynamic EQ

DynamicEQ

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.

Note:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the Equalizer Settings on page 86 are set to Audyssey.

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 is set to Standby.

Subwoofer

You can adjust the level from –15 dB to +12 dB.

Center

You can adjust the level from –12 dB to +12 dB.

Notes:

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

Speakers that are set to No or None in the Speaker Configuration cannot be adjusted (see page 82).

This setting is not available when the Direct listening mode is used with an analog input signal.

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 48kHz and analog audio input signals. The Music Optimizer is disabled when the Direct listening mode is selected.

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 100 milliseconds (ms) in 5 millisecond steps.
