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 and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance, and surround impression that remain 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 well by itself. However, if Audyssey 2EQ® is on, the two technologies work in tandem 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

iii inecessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic Volume works fine by itself, but can also be used with

Audyssey Dynamic EQ. When both are on, Audyssey Dynamic EQ adjusts the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to

surround sound content, when Dynamic Volume adjusts the volume.
