First Time Setup—Continued
Using the DIGITAL INPUT Button
Digital inputs can also be assigned to input selectors by
using the [DIGITAL INPUT] button on the AV receiver.
With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey
MultEQ XT automatically determines the number of
speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass
management, optimum crossover frequencies to the
subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary
listening position.
Audyssey MultEQ
XT
then removes the distortion
caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical
problems over the listening area in both the frequency
and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced
sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ
XT
allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, which
maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any
volume level.
Before using this function, connect and position all of
your speakers.
If Audyssey Dynanic EQ is set to “Enable”,
Audyssey Dynamic Volume
™
becomes available.

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.
About 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.
