DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL

This feature makes it possible to enjoy full surround sound effects on Dolby Digital 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 sources but the MIDNIGHT LISTENING mode (explained on p.51) accomplishes the same end for a variety of sources. If continuing from BASS PEAK LEVEL, DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL should be selected.

Follow steps 1-3 on page 90, if necessary, to get to the starting point mentioned here.
