x D.Range Comp (Dynamic range
compression)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
soundtrack. This may be useful when you want
to watch movies at low volumes late at night.
Dynamic range compression is possible with
Dolby Digital sources only.
• MAX: The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
• STD: The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
• AUTO: The dynamic range is compressed
automatically.
• OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed.
Tips
• Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
• "STD" is the standard setting, and enacts light
compression. Therefore, we recommend using the
"MAX" setting. This greatly compresses the
dynamic range and lets you view movies late at
night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the
levels are predetermined and provide a very natural
compression.

x Distance Unit

meters.

Surround Settings menu

You can select the sound field and adjust the
effect level, etc. on the "Sound Field Setup"
screen.
For details on the sound field, see "Enjoying
Surround Sound" (page 64).
Note
The setup items you can adjust on each menu vary
depending on the sound field.
To adjust the effect level for
HD-D.C.S.
1
Select "HD-D.C.S.", then press
b.
2
Select the effect type you want, then
press
.
HD-D.C.S. has three different types:
Theater, Dynamic and Studio. Each type
has different reflection and reverberation
sound mixture levels and is optimized to
match a listener's room uniqueness, taste
and mood.
• Dynamic: Want to enjoy the sound
effects to the full extent, just like at the
movie theaters?
Dynamic type emphasizes on the
reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S.,
many rooms are often somewhat
reverberant but lack a spacious feeling.
This type acoustically opens up those
types of rooms and provides a spacious
and dynamism feeling equivalent to a
mastering studio.
