Dynamic Volume®.

: Optimize  the  frequency  response  of  all

speakers.

: Optimize  frequency  response  of  speakers

except front L and R speakers.

: Optimize frequency response of all speakers to

flat response.

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.

: This  is  the  default  setting  and  should  be  used  when

listening to movies (Film Ref).

: Select  this  setting  for  content  that  has  a  very  wide

dynamic range, such as classical music.

: 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.

: 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” (

vpage 41).
