•OFF reproduces the sound track with no compression.

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

Note

Dynamic range compression is not possible 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. “STD” is standard compression, but because many sources have only light compression, you may not notice much difference when using 0.1~0.9.

Therefore, we recommend using the “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.
