D.RANGE
COMP. XXX (Dynamic range compressor)Lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night.
•OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
•STD
The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.
•MAX
The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.
Tip
Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. “COMP. STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “COMP. MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.
Note
Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.
