Default Setting: FULL

In some listening situations, it may be
inconvenient to allow the sound to
become very loud, such as late at
night. The Dolby Digital Setup menu
offers the facility to compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack so
that the loudest sounds become
quieter, while the low-level detail and
content of quiet passages is retained.

Select dynamic range compression to
fit your individual listening situation.
The variable range is from FULL, 7/8
to 1/8, or OFF.

• OFF: Audio with uncompressed

dynamic range.

• 7/8~1/8: Audio with partially

compressed dynamic range.

• FULL: Audio with fully compressed

dynamic range.

Note
• The Dual Mono and Dynamic Range

settings can only be used with
Dolby Digital programs.

• You cannot enter the Preferences

Page during playback. You must
stop playback before setting the
