Surround Sound Set Up
D-range control
This feature makes it possible to enjoy full surround sound effects on Dolby Digital sources even at low
volumes. It does this by compressing the dynamic range. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest
and the softest sounds in any given signal. Compressing the range plays sounds so the quieter ones are audible
and the louder ones don't get distorted or become overpowering. This feature only applies to Dolby Digital
sources but the MIDNIGHT LISTENING mode accomplishes the same end for a variety of sources (see p.46). If
continuing from BASS PEAK LEVEL MANAGER, go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in "Setting
Up for Surround Sound" (p.27) first.
