DV Setting (Dynamic Volume Setting)

Set Dynamic Volume effect.

[Selectable items]

Midnight

 :   High setting affects volume the most, causing all sounds 

to be of equal loudness.

Evening

 :   Middle  setting  prevents  loud  and  soft  sounds  from 

being much louder and softer respectively than average 
sounds.

Day

 :   Low  setting  provides  the  least  adjustments  to  the 

loudest and softest of sounds.

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.
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.

NOTE

•  “DV Setting” can only be set when auto setup has been performed.
•  “DV Setting” cannot be set in the following situations.

  •

 If “Auto Setup” fails to be completed.

  •

 After running Auto Setup, when the number of used speakers has 

increased from the number of measured speakers.

  •

 If “Dynamic Volume” setting is “OFF”.

About 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 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 in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ to 
provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

NOTE

•  “Dynamic  Volume”  can  only  be  set  when  auto  setup  has  been 

performed.

•  “Dynamic Volume” cannot be set in the following situations.

  •

 If “Auto Setup” fails to be completed.

  •

 After running Auto Setup, when the number of used speakers has 

increased from the number of measured speakers.

•  When “MultEQ” is set to “OFF”, “Dynamic Volume” is automatically 

set to “OFF”.

•  “Night Mode” and “Tone Control” cannot be used jointly.

[Selectable items]

ON

 :   Use Dynamic Volume.

 

 The Dynamic Volume effect will be at the level of the “DV 
Setting”.

OFF

 :   Do not use Dynamic Volume.

Before running Auto Setup and after running Auto Setup, if the number 
of speakers has increased or you pressed 

DYNAMIC VOLUME

, “Run 

Audyssey” is displayed. In this case, either perform Auto Setup again, 
or return to the setting after running Auto Setup with “System Setup” 
– “Speaker Setup” – “Restore”.

  Operating  from  the  main  unit  or  remote 

control unit

RESTORER

This  function  restores  compressed  audio  signals  to  how  they  were 
before compression and corrects the sense of volume of the bass and 
treble to obtain richer playback sound.

[Selectable items]

OFF

 :

Do not use RESTORER.

Mode1

 (RESTORER 64):

 Optimized mode for compressed sources with very weak highs.

Mode2

 (RESTORER 96):

 Apply suitable bass and treble boost for all compressed sources.

Mode3

 (RESTORER HQ):

 Optimized mode for compressed sources with normal highs.

About the RESTORER function

• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media 

Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating 
signal  components  that  are  hard  for  the  human  ear  to  hear. The 
RESTORER  function  generates  the  signals  eliminated  upon 
compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the 
original  sound  before  compression.  It  also  corrects  the  sense  of 
volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio 
signals.

• This  is  displayed  on  the  “Surround  Parameter”  and  can  be  set 

when the analog signals (including AM/FM signals) or PCM signals 
(fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.

  Operating  from  the  main  unit  or  remote 

control unit
