x D.Range Comp (Dynamic range 

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the 
soundtrack. 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.
• MAX: The dynamic range is compressed 

dramatically.

• STD: The dynamic range is compressed as 

intended by the recording engineer.

• AUTO: The dynamic range is applied 

automatically with Dolby TrueHD source or 
other source is set to “OFF”.

• OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed.

“STD” is the standard setting, and 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.

x Distance Unit

Lets you select the unit of measurement for 
setting distances.
• FEET: The distance is displayed in feet.
• METER: The distance is displayed in 

meters.

You can select the sound field and adjust the 
effect level, etc. on the “Sound Field Setup” 
screen.
For details on the sound field, see “Enjoying 
Sound Effects” (page 51).

The setup items you can adjust on each menu vary 
depending on the sound field.

 

Select “HD-D.C.S.”, then press 

 or 

b.

Select the effect you want, then press 

.

HD-D.C.S. has three different types: 
Theater, Dynamic and Studio. Each type 
has different reflection and reverberation 
sound mixture levels and is optimized to 
match a listener’s room uniqueness, taste 
and mood.
• Dynamic

Want to enjoy the sound effects to the full 
extent, just like at the movie theaters?

 

Dynamic type emphasizes on the 
reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S., 
many rooms are often somewhat 
reverberant but lack a spacious feeling. 
This type acoustically opens up those 
types of rooms and provides a spacious 
and dynamism feeling equivalent to a 
mastering studio.
