 Dolby Digital Setup 

 Dynamic RNG.

In many listening situations, it is objectionable to allow the
sound to become very loud, and thus the loudest sounds
must be compressed downwards in level. Likewise, the very
quiet sounds would be inaudible and must be brought up-
wards in level to be heard. Dolby Digital satisfies these needs
through the dynamic range controlling.
Selects the dynamic range compression to fit the individual
listening situation of the audience. The variable range is from
FULL, 7/8 to 1/8, or OFF.

•

 FULL: Audio with fully compressed dynamic range.

•

 7/8~1/8: Audio with partially compressed dynamic range.

•

 OFF: Audio with uncompressed dynamic range.

•

 The Dual Mono and Dynamic Range settings only support

Dolby Digital programs.
