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 2EQ 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. Audyssey 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, Audyssey 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 Audyssey
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.
Adjusting the Theater-Dimensional setting (Listening
Angle submenu)
This setting lets you optimize the
Theater-Dimensional listening mode by specifying
the angle of the front left and right speakers relative
to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and
right speakers should be equidistant from the
listening position and at an angle close to one of
the two available settings.
Naming inputs (Name Edit menu)
You can enter a preset name for each individual
input selector for easy identification. When entered,
the preset name appears on the display.
Before selecting a name, press the input selector to
select the input source to name.
