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 mode accomplishes the same end for a variety of sources (see p.38). 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.24) first.
