oDynamic EQ

Solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics.

Works with MultEQ®.

On	Use Dynamic EQ.
(Default):
Off:	Do not use Dynamic EQ.

When the menu “Dynamic EQ” setting is “On”, it is not possible to do “Tone Control” adjustment. (v p. 112)

oReference Level Offset

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is referenced to the standard film mix 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 film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard. Recommended setting levels for content are shown below.

0 dB (Film Reference)	Optimized for content such as
(Default):	movies.
5 dB :	Select this setting for content that has
	a very wide dynamic range, such as
	classical music.
	Select this setting for jazz or other
	music that has a wider dynamic
10 dB :	range. This setting should also be
	selected for TV content as that is
	usually mixed at 10 dB below film
	reference.
	Select this setting for pop/rock music
15 dB :	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”. (v p. 157)
