Dynamic Range Control
This lets you adjust the range between the loudest
and softest sounds (dynamic range) for playback
at average volume. Use this when it is hard to hear
dialog.
Normal: The same audio output range is played as the
original recorded audio output range.
Shift*: When Dolby Digital audio is played back, the
dynamic range of the audio is adjusted so that the
dialog portion can be heard easily. (If the audio sounds
abnormal, set to “Normal”.)
Auto: When you play back audio in the Dolby TrueHD
format, the dynamic range is automatically adjusted.
Lower the audio volume before setting. If you do not do so,
the speakers may emit a loud sound or excessive output
may be applied to the speakers.
