Dynamic range setting

DVD discs have a wider dynamic range (sound volume range) than existing VHS videotapes or CD discs. If they are played in home systems, there may be too much difference between the loud and quiet sounds. Therefore, if the volume is set so that the quiet sounds can be heard clearly, the loud sounds may be far too loud.

On the other hand, if the volume is set so that the loud sounds are not too loud, you may not be able to hear the quiet sounds. Three settings are available to control the dy- namic range easily.

1 Press the MENU button repeatedly to make "D-RANGE" appear.

2 Within 10 seconds, press the ITEM button to select "MAX", "STD" or "MIN".

MAX: This setting does not compress the dynamic range of the Dolby digital signal, allowing you to enjoy the full, powerful sound of Dolby encoded digital signals.

STD: This setting compresses the dynamic range, and may produce a more appropriate volume range for home use.

MIN: This setting compresses the dynamic range, allow- ing you to enjoy movies at a lower volume.
