Audyssey Dynamic EQ

■
DynamicEQ
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound
even when listening at low volume levels.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorat-
ing sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into
account human perception and room acoustics.
It does so by selecting the correct frequency response
and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that
the content sounds the way it was created at any volume
level—not just at reference level.
Off:
Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.
On:
Audyssey Dynamic EQ on (default).
Note:
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the
Equalizer Settings on page 84 are set to Audyssey.
Music Optimizer
■
M.Optimizer
The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound qual-
ity of compressed music files. Use it with music files that
use “lossy” compression, such as MP3.
Off:
Music Optimizer off (default).
On:
Music Optimizer on.
Note:
• The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM
digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below
48 kHz, and analog audio input signals. The Music
Optimizer is disabled when the Direct listening mode
is selected.
Speaker Levels
You can adjust the volume of each speaker while listen-
ing to an input source.
These temporary adjustments are cancelled when the AV
receiver is set to Standby.
■
Subwfr (Subwoofer)
You can adjust the level from –15 dB to +12 dB.
■
Center

Notes:
•You cannot use this function while the AV receiver is
muted.
• Speakers that are set to No or None in the Speaker
Configuration cannot be adjusted (see page 81).
• This setting is not available when the Direct listening
mode is used with an analog input signal.
A/V Sync
■
A/V Sync
When using progressive scanning on your DVD player,
you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync.
With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the
audio signal. You can set it from 0 to 100 milliseconds
(ms) in 20 millisecond steps.
