Dynamic range compression

B
"Dynamic range compression" (DR COMP) is a function for
compressing the dynamic range (reproduction level range) of
audio signals. It is used for viewing movie software late at night or
at other times when high volume levels are not desirable.
This function only works with DR COMP compatible Dolby Digital
format software.
OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed.
STANDARD: The dynamic range is compressed according to a
level set by the producer of the software.
MAX: The dynamic range is compressed to the maximum
permitted level.
The factory setting is "OFF".

the function acts to reduce the peak level.
The sound field will remain intact even if DR COMP is functioning.
