[. . . ] However, film reference 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 • If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this technology cannot be used. It quiets the loud parts, such as explosions, and boosts the quiet parts so they can be heard. Note • If you want to use Audyssey Dynamic EQ or Audyssey Dynamic Volume® with THX listening modes, set the “Loudness Plus” setting to “Off” and set “Preserve THX Settings” to “No” (➔ page 56). En-59 Advanced Operations About Audyssey 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 well by itself. However, if Audyssey 2EQ® is on, the two technologies work in tandem to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level. 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. intelliVolume ■ IntelliVolume –12dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.
