Audio dynamic range compression lets you 
compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based 
on the dynamic range information included in the 
Dolby Digital signal. 
“COMP. STD” is the standard setting, but it only 
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend 
using the “COMP. 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.
