En Introduction WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. WARNING RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN AVIS RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). [. . . ] With this setting, you can optimize the TheaterDimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings. Front left speaker Front right speaker 20°/40° LFE Level Dolby Digital*1, DTS*2, Multich PCM, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DSD*3 ­ dB, ­20dB, ­10dB, or 0dB With these settings, you can set the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel individually for each input sources. If you find that low-frequency effects are too loud when using one of these sources, change the setting to ­20 dB or ­ dB. *1 *2 Dynamic EQ Off On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ® becomes active. With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level -- not just at reference level. Note · These technologies cannot be used when: ­ a pair of headphones is connected, or ­ either Pure Audio (European, Australian and Asian models) or Direct listening mode is selected. En *3 Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources DTS and DTS-HD High Resolution sources DSD (Super Audio CD) sources 50 Reference Level Audyssey Dynamic EQ® Reference Level Offset 0dB: This 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. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that ­30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey 2EQ® will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. 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 nonfilm 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", these technologies cannot be used. Note · If you want to use Audyssey Dynamic EQ or Dynamic Volume with THX listening modes, set the "Loudness Plus" setting to "Off" and set "Preserve THX Settings" to "No" ( page 48). · If you make Dynamic Volume active, "Dynamic EQ" is set to "On". · When "Dynamic EQ" is set to "Off", "Dynamic Volume" is automatically switched to "Off". · These technologies cannot be used when: ­ a pair of headphones is connected, or ­ either Pure Audio (European, Australian and Asian models) or Direct listening mode is selected. 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. However, if Audyssey 2EQ is on, the two technologies work in tandem to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, etc. HDMI connection AV receiver DIGITAL AUDIO connection (OPTICAL) HDMI connection TV, projector, etc. 2. Connect the audio output from the TV to the OPTICAL IN 2 jack of the AV receiver using an optical digital cable. Note · When the audio return channel (ARC) function is used with an ARC capable TV, this connection is not necessary ( page 57). Confirm the settings. Turn off the power of the TV, and confirm that the power of the connected components is turned off automatically with the link operation. Start playback on the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player/recorder, and verify the following. [. . . ]
