MultEQ
Select one equalizer from 
three modes. MultEQ 
corrects both time and 
frequency response 
problems in the listening 
area based on Audyssey 
Auto Setup calibration. We 
recommend “Audyssey”.
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.
Manual : Apply frequency response set with “Manual EQ” (vpage53).
OFF : Turn “MultEQ” equalizer off.
• “Audyssey”,  “Audyssey  Byp.  L/R”  and 
“Audyssey Flat” can be selected after Audyssey 
Auto Setup has been performed. “Audyssey” is 
automatically selected after performing Audyssey 
Auto Setup. When “Audyssey”, “Audyssey Byp. 
L/R”  or  “Audyssey  Flat”  is  selected,   
illuminates.
• After  running  Audyssey  Auto  Setup,  if  the 
Speaker  Configuration,  Distance,  Channel 
Level, and Crossover Frequency have changed 
without  increasing  the  number  of  speakers 
measured, only   illuminates.

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.
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” (vpage52).
