D-Range Control (Dynamic Range)
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 page
46). If continuing from Bass Peak Level go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in "Setting Up for
Surround Sound" (p.27) first.

1 Select "D-Range Cont" with the 5¥∞
buttons or MULTI JOG dial (if continuing
from Bass Level, it will already be selected).
See "Setting Up for Surround Sound" on page 27 if you are
unsure how to do this.
Press the ENTER button.
• The default setting is OFF.
• If listening at loud volumes we recommend turning the
D-Range Control OFF.
2 Use the 5/∞ buttons (or the MULTI JOG
dial) to choose OFF, MID or MAX.
3 Press the ENTER button.
If you want to change a setting before proceeding
Choose a new D-Range Control setting using the 5/∞ buttons
(or the MULTI JOG dial).
You may need to experiment with different Dolby Digital
sources before you can use the D-Range Control setting to suit
your low volume listening needs.
4 "Surr Set End" will appear in the display.
Press the ENTER button.
You will go on to the "Rename" tier of the setup menus. This is
not necessary for the basic operation of the receiver but lets
you customize your system (see p.65-66). If you don't want to
rename anything at this time use the 5/∞ buttons (or the
MULTI JOG dial) to select "Setup End" and press ENTER.
This setting completes the surround setup.
