MultEQ®
MultEQ® compensates for
both time and frequency
characteristics of the
listening area based on
Audyssey® Setup
measurement results.
Selection is done from three
types of compensation
curves. We recommend the
“Audyssey” setting.
MultEQ® is the prerequisite
function for Dynamic EQ
and Dynamic Volume.
Audyssey : Optimize the frequency response of all speakers.
Audyssey Byp. L/R : Optimize frequency response of speakers except
front L and R speakers.
Audyssey Flat : Optimize frequency response of all speakers to flat
response.
Graphic EQ : Apply frequency response set with “Graphic EQ”
(
).
Off : Turn “MultEQ®” equalizer off.
• “Audyssey”, “Audyssey Byp. L/R” and “Audyssey Flat” can be
selected after Audyssey® Setup has been performed. “Audyssey”
is automatically selected after performing Audyssey® Setup. When
“Audyssey”, “Audyssey Byp. L/R” or “Audyssey Flat” is selected,
illuminates.
• After running Audyssey® Setup, if the Speaker Configuration, Distance,
Channel Level, and Crossover Frequency have changed without
increasing the number of speakers measured, only
illuminates.
NOTE
When using headphones, “MultEQ®” is automatically set to “Off”.
“MultEQ®”, “Dynamic EQ” and “Dynamic Volume” settings are stored for each input source.

Reference Level Offset
Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is
referenced to the standard
film mix level. It makes
adjustments to maintain
the reference response
and surround envelopment
when the volume is turned
down from 0 dB. However,
film reference level is not
always used in music or
other non-film content.
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. Recommended
setting levels are shown at
right.
0dB (Film Ref) : This is the default setting and should be used when
listening to movies.
5dB : Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range,
such as classical music.
10dB : 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.
15dB : Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material
that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic
range.
Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ” is “On” (
