Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks have a very large dynamic volume range, hence there is a great difference between quiet and loud sounds. When played at full volume this can be a fascinating experience, but it can cause disturbance late at night. Simply re- ducing the volume does not produce satisfactory results, since the dialogue can be hard to understand.

You can turn down the louder sounds and turn up the quieter pas- sages, while retaining the volume of the dialogue. This function is called the dynamic range.

1Select the »Audio« menu item with »a« or »s« and press »OK« to confirm.

2Select »DRC« with »a« or »s« and press »OK« to confirm.

3Make the setting with »A« or »S« and press »OK« to con- firm:

»Off« or »On«. »Off« (the default setting) means uncom- pressed dynamics (during the day), »On« means compressed dynamics (late at night).
