Customizing Sound Fields

Dynamic range compressor (D. RANGE)

Initial setting : COMP. OFF

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.

•COMP. OFF reproduces the sound track with no compression.

•COMP. STD reproduces the sound track with the dynamic range intended by the recording engineer.

•COMP. 0.1 ~ 0.9 allow you to compress the dynamic range in small steps to achieve the sound you want.

•COMP. MAX provides a dramatic compression of the dynamic range.

Note

Dynamic range compression does not work with DTS sources.

zAbout the Dynamic Range Compressor

This parameter allows you to compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. “COMP. STD” is standard compression, but because many sources have only light compression, you may not notice much difference when using COMP. 0.1~0.9.

Therefore, we recommend using the “COMP. MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and allows you to view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and it provides a very natural

compression.

Adjusting the bass/treble

The BASS +/– or TREBLE +/– button lets you adjust the tone (bass or treble) of the front speakers for optimum sound. You can adjust the tone for each separate sound field.

1Start playing a program source encoded with multi channel surround sound.

2Press BASS +/– to adjust the bass tone and TREBLE +/– to adjust the treble tone.

The setting is stored automatically.

You can select a tone level of -6 dB to +6 dB in 2 dB steps.
