A quote from Chris Kyriakakis on the Audyssey thread at AVS Forum (post #10516):

" ... any settings you make prior to running the calibration are completely ignored when you run the calibration. So, if you want to make a change it will have to be after the calibration is completed."


Another one (post #2940):

During calibration it completely ignores the internal settings of the receiver, so you will end up with the same results.

Are the setting you cited exempt from this general rule?

I agree. I guess someting got lost in translation. I get bombarded with private messages and questions. In my haste to answer the question, part of the answer got lost and went into a black hole.

Check https://forum.blu-ray.com/audio-theo...hnologies.html thread under How to Run MultEq.

This is what I meant to say:

1. Before you run Audyssey auto calibration program, it is not necessary to turn off Dynamic EQ, Dynamic Volume, or any other options. All internal settings are ignored when the calibration is running, including the volume, level trims, delays, and speaker settings. They are set after you are finished and saved the results of the auto calibration program
2. After calibration, if you plan to use Dynamic EQ and Dynamic volume, it is a good idea to turn off the Night Mode, Dynamic Range Compression (DRC), and Dynamic Compression (D. Comp) in the receiver/processor as well as the player. In addition, if your receiver/processor has the THX Loudness Plus or Dolby Volume, you should turn them off as these may possibly have an adverse effect on Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume.
