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. Preset Name For Input Selector ■ Name `- - -, Blu-ray, DVD, HD DVD, VCR, DVR, Tivo, CableSTB, SAT STB, PS3, Wii, Xbox, PC, TV, CD, TAPE, iPod: To reset to the default, select "- - -". You can enter a preset name for each individual input selector for easy identification. When entered, the preset name will appear on the display. Note • Can not set the input selector by the same name. • This menu cannot be used for the AM, FM or USB input selector. Audio 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. 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 43). Note • A/V Sync is disabled when the Direct listening mode is used with an analog input source. ■ Audio Selector ` ARC: The audio signal from your TV tuner can be sent to the HDMI OUT of the AV receiver.*1 With this selection the TV's audio can be automatically selected as a priority among other assignments. ` HDMI: This can be selected when HDMI IN has been assigned as an input source. If both HDMI (HDMI IN) and digital audio inputs (COAXIAL IN or OPTICAL IN) have been assigned, HDMI input is automatically selected as a priority. ` COAXIAL: This can be selected when COAXIAL IN has been assigned as an input source. If both coaxial and HDMI inputs have been assigned, coaxial input is automatically selected as a priority. ` OPTICAL: This can be selected when OPTICAL IN has been assigned as an input source. If both optical and HDMI inputs have been assigned, optical input is automatically selected as a priority. ` Analog: The AV receiver always outputs analog signals. You can set priorities of audio output when there are both digital and analog inputs. Note • The setting is stored individually for each input selector. • This setting can be made only for the input source that is assigned as HDMI IN, COAXIAL IN, or OPTICAL IN. If both HDMI (HDMI IN) and digital audio inputs (COAXIAL IN or OPTICAL IN) are assigned, HDMI input will be selected as a priority by setting to "ARC" (➔ page 42). To select the digital audio input, see "Digital Audio (Digital Audio Input)" (➔ page 35). *1 You can select "ARC" if you select the TV/CD input selector. But you cannot select it if you've selected "Off" in the "Audio Return Ch" setting (➔ page 42). En 40
