Fine Tuning Your System

DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL

This feature makes it possible to enjoy full surround sound effects on Dolby Digital and DTS 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 and DTS sources but the MIDNIGHT mode (explained on page 48) accomplishes the same end for a variety of sources. If continuing from BASS PEAK LEVEL, DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL should be selected.
