sports, or films with optical soundtracks. The Five-Band presets (see below) can au-
tomatically equalize such program material when its spectral balance is inappropri-
ate and can also apply single-ended dynamic noise reduction.
These presets defeat the AGC and do all gain riding with the two-band compressor,
which is set for reverse exponential release. This release characteristic does not sig-
nificantly increase the density of material whose level is well controlled while still
performing fast correction of levels that are too low. The Loudness Controller is ac-
tive, so this preset controls loudness tightly.

For modern dramatic programming mixed in surround, you may prefer the TV 5B-
DRAMA preset, which preserves more of the mixes' original dynamic range.
TV 2B GEN PURP –LC (TV Two-Band General Purpose without Loudness Controller):
This preset is the same as TV 2B-GEN PURPOSE except the Loudness Controller is
turned off and the MB D
the same loudness as TV 2B-GEN PURPOSE. Because the Loudness Controller is inac-
tive, this preset has more dynamic punch than TV 2B-GEN PURPOSE, but the loud-
ness of highly processed material (like commercials with a lot of midrange boost)
may be objectionably loud.
