at reference level when the master volume control is
set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the
mix as the mixers heard it.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ
® is referenced to the
standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to
maintain the reference response and surround
envelopment when the volume is turned down from
0 dB. However, film reference level is not always
used in music or other non-film content.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset
provides three offsets from the film level reference
(5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when
the mix level of the content is not within the standard.
Note
• If “ Dynamic EQ ” setting is set to “ Off ”, this technology
cannot be used.

setting affects volume the most. It quiets the
loud parts, such as explosions, and boosts the
quiet parts so they can be heard.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume ® with THX listening modes, set
the “ Loudness Plus ” setting to “ Off ” and set “ Preserve

automatically switched to “ Off ”.
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 in
tandem with Audyssey MultEQ
® 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.
