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 userselected 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 in tandem with Audyssey EQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level. 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 EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to surround sound content. Theater-Dimensional Setting ■ Listening Angle ` Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees. ` Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 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.

To differentiate the AV receiver from the other components, you can change its remote ID from "1", to "2" or "3". Note • If you do change the AV receiver's remote ID, be sure to change the remote controller to the same ID (see below), otherwise, you won't be able to control it with the remote controller. Changing the Remote Controller's ID 1 While holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down SETUP until the remote indicator lights (about 3 seconds) (➔ 30). 2 Use the number buttons to enter ID 1, 2, or 3. The remote indicator flashes twice. FM/AM Frequency Setup Settings For FM/AM tuning to work properly, you must specify the FM/AM frequency step used in your area. Note that when this setting is changed, all radio presets will be deleted. ■ FM/AM Freq Step (North American models) ` 200k/10kHz: Select if 200 k/10 kHz steps are used in your area. ` 50k/ 9kHz: Select if 50 k/9 kHz steps are used in your area.
