■ Dynamic Volume ` Off: Audyssey 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, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness. Note • Even if you have selected other than "Audyssey" in "Equalizer" setting after performing Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup, selecting "On" in the "Dynamic EQ" will change the "Equalizer" setting to "Audyssey" (➔ 53). • If you would like to use Audyssey Dynamic Volume, when using THX listening modes, set "Loudness Plus" setting to "Off" and set "Preserve THX Settings" setting to "No" (➔ 54). • When "Dynamic Volume" is set to effective, "Equalizer" is set to "Audyssey" (➔ 53) and "Dynamic EQ" is set to "On". When "Dynamic EQ" is set to "Off", "Dynamic Volume" becomes "Off" automatically. • When "Dynamic Volume" is set to effective, the Dynamic Vol indicator will light (➔ 9). • If Pure Audio or Direct listening mode is selected, these settings cannot be selected. • "Dynamic Volume" and "Dynamic EQ" settings cannot be set if speakers B are being used. • "Dynamic EQ" and "Dynamic Volume" settings cannot be used while a pair of headphones is connected. Audyssey MultEQ XT32 then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ XT32 allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ®, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level. Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers. 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. 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 MultEQ XT32 to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level. En 58
