D. Range Comp (Dynamic range
compressor)
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.
x OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
x AUTO
The dynamic range is compressed
automatically.
x STD
The dynamic range is compressed as intended
by the recording engineer.
x MAX
The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
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, but it only 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.
