Audio 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®. Reference 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. Recommended setting levels are shown at right. 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®. is displayed when set to "On".

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 84). Heavy : Most adjustment to softest and loudest sounds. Medium : Medium adjustment to loudest and softest sound. Light : Least adjustment to loudest and softest sounds.
