Theater-Dimensional

■Listening Angle

`Wide:

Select if the listening angle is greater than 30 degrees.

`Narrow:

Select if the listening angle is less than 30 degrees. With this setting, you can optimize the Theater- Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Front left speaker	Front right speaker
	Listening angle: 30°

Note

•For best results, we recommend setting “Narrow” to 20° and “Wide” to 40°.

`On:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® becomes active. The Dynamic EQ indicator will light.

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating 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.

■Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

`0dB:

This should be selected for movie contents.

`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.
