recording (as it should have been listened to originally, in a studio etc). For
example, when listening to a movie, this value could be increased
the loudest portion of the recording, to set the reference for the loudest parts. A
positive VOL OFFS value makes the average output sound less loud, negative
value makes it louder.
Note: Dd VOL OFFS does NOT have to be continously
adjusted during a playback; this is an optional once-off
(per movie) adjustment!
Line 4: Dd VOL MID/SIDE OFF – use volume knob or SURROUND left/right arrow to
toggle this parameter ON or OFF. MID/SIDE is relevant only in STEREO mode
and causes Dolby Volume algorithm to automatically re-balance the left and right
channels. Default is OFF.
Note: Dolby Volume algorithm is operating only at lower
sample rates <=48kHz. It is automatically disabled above
48kHz but this is not indicated on screen!
No configuration settings are available for DRC selections.

+6dB is often sufficient to adjust the loudest movie scenes down to a comfortable level.
