`0 to 2 to 5
With this setting, you can specify by how much the
front left and right channel output is attenuated in order
to create the center channel.
Setting a value “0” in the middle is set to hear a sound.
Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the
set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.
Audyssey Settings
Audyssey EQ™ is based on the same core technology as
Audyssey MultEQ
®
that is used for automatic correction
of room acoustics. Audyssey EQ uses time-domain filters
to correct problems that arise from speaker drivers and
enclosures and is calibrated to account for the acoustical
problems in a typical listening environment. The
Audyssey EQ filters in the HT-R380 are specifically opti-
mized for the Onkyo HTP-380 Speaker Package and
should not be used with other speakers.
Audyssey settings cannot be adjusted while Speakers B is
selected.

The “Dynamic EQ” indicator will light (8).
With Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, you can enjoy great
sound even when listening at low volume levels.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio-
rating 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.
Note
The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
Reference Level
Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ Reference Level Offset
`0dB
:
It should be used when listening to movies.
`5dB:
Select this setting for content that has a very wide
dynamic range, such as classical music.
`10 dB:
Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a
wider dynamic range. This setting should also be
selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at
10 dB below film reference.
`15 dB:
Select this setting for pop/rock music or other pro-
gram material that is mixed at very high listening
levels and has a compressed dynamic range.
Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film refer-
ence. To achieve the same reference level in a home the-
ater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that
–30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise
produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening
position. A home theater system automatically cali-
brated by Audyssey EQ will play at reference level
when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB posi-
tion. 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 ref-
erence response and surround envelopment when the
volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film refer-
ence 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
•IfDynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be
selected.
The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
Dynamic Volume
`Off
:
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off.
`Light:
Light Compression Mode becomes active.
`Medium:
Medium Compression Mode becomes active.
`Heavy:
Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This set-
ting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to
be of equal loudness.
Note
If you make Dynamic Volume™ active, “Audyssey” and
Dynamic EQ” settings are set to “On”. The “Dynamic Vol
indicator will light (8).
•“Dynamic Volume” setting cannot be set if speakers B are being
used.
The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
