o Dynamic EQ

decreased by taking into account human perception and room
acoustics.
Works with MultEQ
® .

When the menu “Dynamic EQ” setting is “On”, it is not possible to do “Tone
Control” adjustment. (v p. 112)
o 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 for content are shown below.
0 dB (Film Reference)
(Default):
Optimized for content such as
movies.
5 dB :
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 program material that is
mixed at very high listening levels
and has a compressed dynamic
range.
Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ” is “On”. (v p. 157)
