DSP OPTIONS

The following signal processing parameters can be setup under the DSP 
(Digital Signal Processing) Options menu.

LIP SYNC DELAY

DSP Options has the feature ‘Lip Sync Delay’ whose function is to match any 
delay that may occur in the picture relative to the audio.

By varying ‘Lip Sync Delay’ from 0ms to 120ms, one can delay the audio 
output in order to synchronize it with the video image.

AUDYSSEY MultEQ

Audyssey MultEQ becomes available among the DSP options only after 
successfully completing Audyssey Auto Calibration (accessible through 
the Setup Menu). Refer also to Audyssey Auto Calibration segment of the 
Speaker Setup under Operation – Using the T 787 – Setup Menu.

Audyssey MultEQ can be set to the following levels

Audyssey:

 Audyssey developed target curve.

Flat:

 This setting is appropriate for very small or highly treated rooms 

in which the listener is seated quite close to the loudspeakers. MultEQ 
filters are used in the same way as the Audyssey curve, but it does not 
apply a high frequency roll-off. 

NAD:

 Ideal “in room” response developed by NAD engineers along with 

Audyssey Engineers.

Off:

 MultEQ filters are not used or no measurement process at all.

NOTES

•  “AUDYSSEY” and a lit green box icon are illuminated at the VFD if NAD, 

Audyssey or Flat is selected. If “Off” is selected, “AUDYSSEY” and the 
green box icon will not be illuminated. 

•  If NAD, Audyssey or Flat is selected and changes are done at the “Tone 

Controls”, “Speaker Configuration”, “Speaker Levels” and “Speaker 
Distance” settings, “AUDYSSEY” and a lit red box icon are illuminated 
at the VFD. Restore the parameter to its previously calibrated Audyssey 
setting by adjusting back the altered configuration.

•  Audyssey MultEQ options can also be directly selected or changed using 

HTR 8’s AUDYSSEY button with DEVICE SELECTOR set to AMP mode. 
Toggle AUDYSSEY button to select “Audyssey MultEQ” and then use the 
[

D/F

] to select through the Audyssey MultEQ options. Press AUDYSSEY 

again to save the selected option and at the same time move on to the 
next menu setting or exit the menu setting altogether.

AUDYSSEY DYN EQ (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. By carefully combining information from incoming source levels 
with actual output sound levels in the room, Audyssey Dynamic EQ delivers 
unprecedented sound reproduction at all volume levels. 

Audyssey Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround 
volume levels moment-by-moment. The resulting bass response, octave-
to-octave balance and surround impression remained the same despite 
changes in volume.
 
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is designed to work in conjunction with Audyssey 
MultEQ. Dynamic EQ determines the proper loudness compensation based 
on the sound pressure level measurements MultEQ provides. Audyssey 
Dynamic EQ working in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ provides the right 
listening conditions for every listener at any volume level.

On:

 Activate Audyssey Dynamic EQ function.

Off:

 Defeat Audyssey Dynamic EQ function.

NOTE

 

Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Audyssey Dynamic Volume (see below) 
can be directly selected or changed using HTR 8’s AUDYSSEY button 
with DEVICE SELECTOR set to AMP mode. Toggle AUDYSSEY button to 
select “Dyn EQ” or “Dyn Vol” and then use the [

D/F

] to select through 

their respective options. Press AUDYSSEY again to save the setting and 
at the same time move on to the next option or exit the menu setting 
altogether.

AUDYSSEY DYNAMIC VOLUME

Audyssey Dynamic Volume delivers consistent volume playback levels, 
anticipating sudden spikes and dips in volume and compensating for them 
in real time. Audyssey Dynamic Volume monitors the volume of program 
material moment-by-moment, maintaining the desired listening level for all 
content while optimizing the dynamic range to preserve the impact.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume includes Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which 
compensates for deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased 
by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. These 
two technologies enable the full frequency response of the source at its 
original level to be reproduced at any listening level. Even at lower listening 
volumes, Dynamic Volume ensures that the richness and dynamics of the 
response are maintained.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume can be set to the following levels

Light:

 Provide the least adjustment to the loudest or softest sound level.

Medium:

 Setting that prevents loud and soft sound from being much 

louder than their respective average sound levels.

Heavy:

 Affect volume the most by causing all sound to be of equal 

loudness.

NOTE

 

Audyssey Dynamic EQ must be set to “On” to activate Audyssey Dynamic 
Volume. If Audyssey Dynamic EQ is set “Off”, Audyssey Dynamic Volume 
will also remain “Off”.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

If Audyssey Auto Calibration is not set up, the relative balance of your system’s 
loudspeakers has to be manually adjusted (with the aid of a SPL meter) for 
Audyssey Dynamic Volume and Audyssey Dynamic EQ to be effective.  If the 
speakers are not properly calibrated, the corresponding Audyssey Dynamic 
Volume and Audyssey Dynamic EQ responses could be distorted.  Refer also 
to the item about “USING SPL METER” in the SPEAKER LEVELS section below. 

Offset: 

Adding a Volume Offset will have the effect of reducing the 

amount of boost applied by Dynamic EQ, for any given volume setting. As 
a consequence, the amount of overall digital attenuation required is also 
reduced. For example, with the Offset set to 10dB, and a volume setting of 
-30dB, the loudness curve selected will be for a volume level of -20dB. 

The offset level can be set from 0dB to 15dB.
