Dynamic Range Control - Pioneer Elite VSX-29TX Operating Instructions Manual

DYNAMIC 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 (explained on p.40) accomplishes the same end for a variety of sources. 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.23)
first.
