x D. Range Comp

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.

• AUTO

The dynamic range is applied automatically 
with Dolby TrueHD sources and is set to 
“OFF” with other sources.

• STD

The dynamic range is compressed as 
intended by the recording engineer.

• MAX

The dynamic range is compressed 
dramatically.

• 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.

distances.
• meter

The distance is displayed in meters.

• feet
