Rear ENGLISH Audio 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. 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. Setting details ON : Use Dynamic EQ.
