■ Dynamic Volume ` Off ` Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active. ` Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active. ` Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most. It quiets the loud parts, such as explosions, and boosts the quiet parts so they can be heard. Note • If you make Dynamic Volume active, "Dynamic EQ" is set to "On". The Dynamic Vol indicator will light (➔ page 8). • When "Dynamic EQ" is set to "Off", Dynamic Volume" become "Off" automatically. • These technologies cannot be used when: - a pair of headphones is connected, or - either Pure Audio (European, Australian and Asian) or Direct listening mode is selected. 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. A/V Sync ■ A/V Sync `0 ms to 400 ms in 10 ms steps When using progressive scanning on your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync. With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the audio signals. To view the TV picture while setting the delay, press ENTER. To return to the previous screen, press RETURN. The range of values you can adjust will depend on whether your TV or display supports HDMI Lip Sync and if the "LipSync" setting is set to "On" or not (➔ page 49) Note • A/V Sync is disabled when the Pure Audio (European, Australian and Asian models) or Direct listening mode is used with an analog input source.

Note • You can't assign the same preset name to multiple input selectors. • This menu cannot be used for the TUNER, NET or USB input selector. 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 necessary 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.
