Audyssey Dynamic EQ®
Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume
is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ® works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ® to
provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume®
Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level
between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and
loud passages of movies. 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.
Audyssey MultEQ®
MultEQ® is a room equalization solution that calibrates any audio system
so that it can achieve optimum performance for every listener in a large
listening area. Based on several room measurements, MultEQ® calculates
an equalization solution that corrects for both time and frequency response
problems in the listening area and also performs a fully automated
surround system setup.

connecting handheld devices several meters apart. This enables notebook
computers, PDA s, mobile phones, etc. to connect without a cable for
transmitting audio and data.

Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL”, “FR” and “C”),
2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for low
frequency eects.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic
sound field with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance,
movement and positioning) is achieved. This delivers a thrilling surround
sound experience in the home.
