Basic version Advanced version nnAudyssey Settings Default settings are underlined. Set Audyssey MultEQ® XT, Audyssey Dynamic EQ® and Audyssey Dynamic Volume®. These can be selected after Audyssey® Auto Setup has been performed. For additional information on Audyssey technology, please see page 142. NOTE • If you have not performed Auto Setup, or if you change the speaker settings after performing Auto Setup, you may not be able to select Dynamic EQ®/Dynamic Volume®. In this case, either perform Audyssey® Auto Setup over again or perform "Restore" (vpage 27) to return to the settings after Audyssey® Auto Setup was run. • When HD Audio for which the sampling frequency exceeds 96 kHz is played back, the "Audyssey Settings" cannot be set. Setting items MultEQ® XT MultEQ® XT corrects both time and frequency response problems in the listening area based on Audyssey® Auto Setup calibration. We recommend "Audyssey". MultEQ® XT is the prerequisite function for Dynamic EQ® and Dynamic Volume®. Setting details Audyssey : Optimize the frequency response of all speakers. Audyssey Byp.L/R : Optimize frequency response of speakers except front L and R speakers. Audyssey Flat : Optimize frequency response of all speakers to flat response. Manual : Apply frequency response set with "Manual EQ" (vpage 102). OFF : Turn "MultEQ® XT" equalizer off. • "Audyssey", "Audyssey Byp. L/R" and "Audyssey Flat" can be selected after Audyssey® Auto Setup has been performed. "Audyssey" is automatically selected after performing Audyssey® Auto Setup. When "Audyssey", "Audyssey Byp. L/R" or "Audyssey Flat" is selected, illuminates. • After running Audyssey® Auto Setup, if the Speaker Configuration, Distance, Channel Level, and Crossover Frequency have changed without increasing the number of speakers measured, only illuminates. NOTE • "MultEQ® XT" and "Manual" cannot be selected when "EQ Customize" is set to "Not Used" (vpage 110). • When using headphones, "MultEQ® XT" is automatically set to "OFF". "MultEQ® XT", "Dynamic EQ®" and "Dynamic Volume®" settings are stored for each input source. AUDIO/VIDEO ADJUST Setting items Dynamic EQ® Solve the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Works with MultEQ® XT. Reference 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. Dynamic Volume® Solve the problem of large variations in volume level between TV, movies and other content (between quiet passages and loud passages, etc.) by automatically adjusting to the user's preferred volume setting. Setting details ON : Use Dynamic EQ®. OFF : Do not use Dynamic EQ®. or is displayed when set to "ON". 0dB (Film Ref) : This is the default setting and should be used when listening to movies. 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. Setting is enabled when "Dynamic EQ®" is "ON" (vpage 101). Midnight : Most adjustment to loudest and softest sounds. Evening : Medium adjustment to loudest and softest sound. Day : Least adjustment to loudest and softest sounds. OFF : Do not use "Dynamic Volume®". • is displayed when set to "Midnight", "Evening" or "Day". • If "Dynamic Volume®" is set to "Yes" in Auto Setup (vpage 25), the setting is automatically changed to "Evening".
