Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. 
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. At that 
level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.
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. 
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.
Dynamic Volume
`
Off 
`
Light:
Activates Light Compression Mode.
`
Medium:
Activates Medium Compression Mode.
`
Heavy:
Activates Heavy Compression Mode. This setting 
affects volume the most. It quiets the loud parts, such 
as explosions, and boosts the quiet parts so they can 
be heard.
Note
• If you make Dynamic Volume active, “Dynamic EQ” is set to 
On”. The Dynamic Vol indicator will light.
• When  “Dynamic EQ” is set to “Off”, “Dynamic Volume” is
 
automatically switched to “Off”.

–12dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.
With IntelliVolume, you can set the input level for each 
input selector individually. This is useful if one of your 
source components is louder or quieter than the others.
Use 
e/r to set the level.
If a component is noticeably louder than the others, use 
to reduce its input level. If it’s noticeably quieter, use 
r to 
increase its input level.
Note
• IntelliVolume does not work for Zone 2.

0 msec to 800 msec in 5 msec steps
When using progressive scanning on your Blu-ray 
Disc/DVD player, you may find that the picture and sound 
are out of sync. With this setting, you can correct this by 
delaying the audio signals.
To return to the previous screen, press RETURN.
The range of values you can adjust will depend on whether 
your TV or display supports HDMI Lip Sync and if the 
LipSync” setting is set to “On” or not (
Note
• A/V Sync is disabled when the Pure Audio (European models) 
or Direct listening mode is used with an analog input source.
• This setting cannot be used with the NET input selector.
• The USB input selector can be used only when iPod/iPhone is 
connected and Standard Mode or Extended Mode (Video) 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. 
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.
