USING THE DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL

For the majority of applications this switch should be placed and remain in the middle or NORM position.

For late night viewing or at any time you wish to reduce the overall dynamic range of a program the switch may be set to the “LATE” (down) position.

If you wish to turn off all of the software’s built-in dynamic range management functions the switch can be set to the “MAX” (up) position.

NOTE: Caution should be exercised when choosing this option. Many smaller loudspeaker systems can- not handle the extremely wide range signals produced in this mode. Overall system volume should be ini- tially set quite low until you or your dealer are able to determine the maximum safe setting to avoid damage to your loudspeaker systems or power amplifiers.
