Dynamic Range Control - Pioneer Elite VSX-55TXi Operating Instructions Manual

Dynamic Range Control

This feature makes it possible to enjoy full surround sound effects on Dolby Digital and DTS sources even at low
volumes. It does this by compressing the dynamic range. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and
the softest sounds in any given signal. Compressing the range plays sounds so the quieter ones are audible and the
louder ones don't get distorted or become overpowering. This feature only applies to Dolby Digital and DTS sources
but the MIDNIGHT mode (see page 52) accomplishes the same end for a variety of sources. If continuing from
BASS PEAK LEVEL, D-RANGE CONTROL should be selected.
