Dynamic range control setting mode

Dynamic range indicates in decibels how loud and soft sounds can be played back properly (so that soft sounds are not covered by noise and loud sounds are not distorted). Dynamic range control is a function which compresses this dynamic range. Even when watching a movie at low volume, setting this function enables low level sounds to be heard more easily.

memo	• Initial setting is “OFF”.

• When the volume level is increased, set to OFF.

•For listening enjoyment at low volumes, set to “MAX” for maximum dynamic range compression.

•Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby Digital signal is being played back.
