Dynamic Range

While watching DVD movies, you may wish to

(the difference between the loudest and quietest
passages). This allows you to listen to a movie at a
lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set
‘Dynamic Range‘ to Low or High for this effect.
Follow the same procedure as ‘Digital Output‘ to set
