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.
