2 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 below.
0dB (Film Ref) (Default) : 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.

2 Dynamic Volume
Solves the problem of large variations in volume level between TV,
movies and other content (between quiet passages and loud passages,
etc.) by automatically adjusting to the user’s preferred volume setting.
Heavy : Most adjustment to softest and loudest sounds.
Medium : Medium adjustment to loudest and softest sound.
Light : Least adjustment to loudest and softest sounds.
Off (Default) : Do not use “Dynamic Volume”.
