It makesadjustments to maintainthe reference responseand surround envelopmentwhen the volume is turneddown from 0 dB. However,film reference level is notalways used in music orother non-film content.Dynamic EQ ReferenceLevel Offset provides threeoffsets from the film levelreference (5 dB, 10 dB, and15 dB) that can be selectedwhen the mix level of thecontent is not within thestandard. Recommendedsetting levels are shown atright.0dB (Film Ref) : This is the default setting and should be used whenlistening 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 dynamicrange. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usuallymixed at 10 dB below film reference.15dB : Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program materialthat is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamicrange.Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ” is “On” (vpage 125).
