The Sound Menu

Compression

This feature compresses the dynamic range (quietest sound to loudest sound) of a disc's soundtrack. For
example, action scenes might be very loud, while whispered dialog is quiet. The Compression feature
evens out the range of the volume by making loud sounds quieter and soft sounds louder. The
Compression option is always on. You can adjust the compression with the Range option (see below).
