x D.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. Dynamic range compression is possible
with Dolby Digital sources only.
• OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
• STD
The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
• MAX
The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
Tip
Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
“STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light
compression. 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.
Adjusting the equalizer
(EQ Settings menu)
You can use the EQ Settings menu to adjust the
tonal quality (bass/treble level) of the front
speakers and to store up to 5 different
equalizer settings in the equalizer preset (EQ
PRESET [1]-[5]) and apply them. These
settings are applied to all sound fields and for
each speaker. Select “EQ Settings menu” in
the system menus. For details on adjusting the
parameters, see “Navigating through menus”
(page 54) and “Overview of the menus” (page
55).
