Tip
Dylmmic range compressor lets you compress the
dynanlic range of the soundtrack based on the
dylmmic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signah
"COMP. STD" is the standard setting, but it only
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the "COMP. MAX" setting. This greatly
compresses the dynanlic range and lets you view
movies late at night at low volunles. Unlike analog
limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a
very natural
compression.
