Audyssey Demonstration
The following features may be used after filters have been transferred or saved permanently to
the product.
• MultEQ On/Off - Demonstrates the MultEQ XT filters. Audyssey has assembled instructions
and recommended film titles for demonstration purposes (see Audyssey Recommended
Demos, Page 45).
• Dynamic EQ On/Off – Demonstrates the Dynamic EQ feature. MultEQ filtering will always
be enabled when Dynamic EQ is enabled.
• Dynamic Volume On/Off - These buttons may be used to demonstrate the Dynamic
Volume feature. MultEQ and Dynamic EQ will always be enabled when Dynamic Volume is
enabled.
• Audyssey DSX On/Off - Demonstrates the Audyssey DSX feature. This technology is
independent of MultEQ XT, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume.
Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume use parameters that can be changed to adjust for listening
conditions or content.
Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset
Audyssey Dynamic EQ uses the standard film mixing level as its reference. However, due to the
lack of standardization outside the film industry, the reference level for other types of content
may not match that of film content. In order to adjust Dynamic EQ for other reference levels,
Dynamic EQ supports a Reference Level Offset of 5 dB, 10 dB and 15 dB.
• 0 dB – Reference film level.
• 5 dB – Suitable for listening to classical music and other content with an extremely wide
dynamic range.
• 10 dB – Suitable for viewing TV and listening to other audio sources with a moderately wide
dynamic range.
• 15 dB – Suitable for listening to pop, rock music and other content mixed at a high level.
Dynamic Volume Mode
• Midnight – This heavy setting and adjusts volume the most, causing all sounds to be of
roughly equal loudness.
• Evening – This medium setting prevents loud and soft content from differing greatly from
average content level.
• Day – This light setting adjusts volume the least, but still prevents extreme differences in the
loudest and softest passages of any content.
