Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level - not just at reference level. Note • If Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be selected. ■ Reference Level Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset ` 0dB: It should be used when listening to movies. ` 5dB: Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music. ` 10dB: Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. 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.
