DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL
This feature makes it possible to enjoy full surround sound effects on Dolby Digital sources even at low
volumes. It does this by compressing the dynamic range. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest
and the softest sounds in any given signal. Compressing the range plays sounds so the quieter ones are audible
and the louder ones don’t get distorted or become overpowering. This feature only applies to Dolby Digital
sources but the MIDNIGHT LISTENING mode (explained on p.54) accomplishes the same end for a variety of
sources. If continuing from BASS PEAK LEVEL, DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL should be selected.
