rip
Dynamic range compressor Jets you compress the
dynan/ic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range inlornmtion included in the Dolby
Digital signah "COMP. STD" is the standard
setting, but it only enacts light compression.
Therefore. we recc, nmend using the "COMP.
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.
