Dynamic Range Compression

In many listening situations, you may find loud passages
objectionable. Adjusting this setting allows you to compress the
sounds into a range that you may find more suitable for a
particular listening situation. Dolby Digital satisfies these needs
through the dynamic range controlling.
Select one of the followings to fit the individual listening
situation of the audience.
During playback of DVD, press the DYNAMIC RANGE
button repeatedly until desired setting appears on the
display.
DYNR 0.0 (off) :
Audio with uncompressed dynamic range. Select this when
you don't want to compress the dynamic range.
DYNR 0.5 :
Audio with partially compressed dynamic range.
DYNR 1.0 :
Audio with fully compressed dynamic range.
< The default setting is "DYNR 0.0".
< This function is effective only when playing back a DVD disc
recorded in Dolby Digital format on the DVD player
connected via DIGITAL IN terminal. This control has no effect
on other discs.
< This function may not work with some discs.
