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.
• OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
•
The dynamic range is compressed in small steps to achieve the sound you desire.
• STD
The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.
• MAX
The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.
Tip
“D.RANGE COMP.” lets 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 lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.
Notes
•Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.
•While NIGHT MODE is activated, D.RANGE COMP. is automatically set to MAX and the setting cannot be changed.
