Dynamic range control setting mode
Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in any given signal. The dynamic range control
helps you play back sounds so the quieter sounds are audible yet the louder sounds don’t get distored. It does this by
compressing the dynamic range. When watching a movie at low volume, setting this function enables low level sounds
to be heard more easily.
• Initial setting is “OFF”.
• When the volume level is increased, set to OFF.
• For listening enjoyment at low volumes, set to “MAX” for maximum dynamic range compression.
• Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby Digital signal is being played back.
Press
% or fi to set the dynamic range control (OFF, MAX or
MID).
