Audyssey MultEQ for a Simplified Setup
Via the supplied measuring microphone, Audyssey MultEQ measures all the speakers in your home theater during setup, including the subwoofer, and then generates multiple DSP room acoustic correction filters, helping to provide a smooth, natural tonal balance. Audyssey Dynamic EQ features psycho-acoustic processing to deliver full-range clear dialogue and wide-band response, even at reduced volume levels, for enhanced clarity. At the same time, Audyssey Dynamic Volume avoids jumps in volume when what you're watching switches from content to commercials or announcements, creating an easier listening experience.
Dual Subwoofer Outputs
The NR1509 supports two subwoofers; used in different locations within the main room, these will even out the low-frequency response for enhanced bass accuracy nearly anywhere in the listening area.

Via the HDMI CEC (consumer electronics control) functionality on some smart TVs, it's possible to control the NR1509 with the TV's remote handset. With the receiver's "HDMI control" set to ON, select "Smart Menu" receiver control functions and the TV's Smart Menu home screen will provide you direct access to source and surround mode selections, the main setup menu, and Smart Select configuration presets.
Smart Select Functions
There are four Smart Select function buttons on the front panel and the remote control; each one will store your preferred setup – input, volume, and Audyssey configuration – for a particular source. With the push of just one button, you can have the NR1509 configured for anything from Blu-ray or your TV's set-top box to your favorite Internet radio station.
