Adjusting the Sound
Adjusting the volume difference between
audio signals encoded on a DVD
— D.RANGE COMP
This function lets you increase the dynamic range
compression ratio in order to reduce the difference in
volume between high-volume sections (the loudest
sounds) such as explosions and screams and low-volume
sections (the softest sounds) such as background noises
and gasps. This is useful when watching movies at low
volumes at night or for soft sounds which are otherwise
difficult to hear.
