In OFF mode, Dolby Volume applies a bass and treble attenuation to the audio when the system gain exceeds ref- erence level. This enables a more perceptually flat listen- ing experience as human ears are more sensitive to bass and treble at higher levels. Some listeners however, prefer to have more bass and treble performance at higher gain levels.

If the “Dolby Volume” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be selected.

During Half Mode ON playback, Dolby Volume does not apply a bass and treble attenuation when the system volume exceeds reference level thereby boosting perception of high and low fre- quencies.
