■Treble

You can boost or cut high-frequency sounds output by the front speakers from –10 dB to +10 dB in 2 dB steps.

Notes:

•To bypass the bass and treble tone circuits, select the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode.

•This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver by using its [TONE], [–], and [+] buttons.

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.

Notes:

•Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the Equalizer Settings on page 63 are set to Audyssey.

•When the automatic speaker setup is complete, the Audyssey Dynamic EQ settings will be set to “On.”

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 Pure Audio or Direct listening mode is selected.
