xD.RANGE COMP.

(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. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

•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.

“STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “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.

Adjusting the equalizer(EQ Settings menu)

You can use the EQ Settings menu to adjust the tonal quality (bass/treble level) of the front speakers and to store up to 5 different equalizer settings in the equalizer preset (EQ PRESET [1]-[5]) and apply them. These settings are applied to all sound fields and for each speaker. Select “EQ Settings menu” in the system menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see “Navigating through menus” (page 54) and “Overview of the menus” (page 55).
