[32] Mute Button
In all modes, this button is preprogrammed to mute out- puts of device. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape outputs but will affect the signal going to the Preamp Outputs. When the unit is in mute mode, any adjustment of the Volume Control on the front panel [8] will release the muting, i.e. the original volume level will be resumed.
[33] Dynamic Range Button
In main mode, this button is preprogrammed to adjust dynamic range of Dolby Digital encoded sources.
The d. range button, which can be used only in combina- tion with a Dolby Digital source, incrementally reduces the audio track’s dynamic range in four steps (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%) to allow for comfortable listening under
a variety of conditions. The normal or default position is 100%. To adjust the dynamic range, each consecutive press of the d. range button will reduce the value in 25% increments, as shown in the
display section.
Although we usually prefer to reproduce a source’s full dynamic range (the difference between very loud and very soft sounds), it may occasionally be desirable to reduce the dynamic range. For example, when playing a movie late at night, loud explosions might wake sleeping family members. Simply turning the volume control down would probably make a whisper in the next scene inaudible. The d. range button solves this dilemma by progressively low- ering the volume of loud peaks while increasing the level of softer sounds.
