Dynamic range compressor (

D. RANGE

)

Initial setting : COMP. OFF

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.

• COMP. OFF reproduces the sound track with no

compression.

• COMP. STD reproduces the sound track with the

dynamic range intended by the recording engineer.

• COMP. 0.1 ~ 0.9 allow you to compress the dynamic

range in small steps to achieve the sound you want.

• COMP. MAX provides a dramatic compression of the

dynamic range.

Note

Dynamic range compression is not possible with DTS sources.

About the Dynamic Range Compressor

This parameter allows you to compress the dynamic range of the

soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in

the Dolby Digital signal. “COMP. STD” is standard compression,

but because many sources have only light compression, you may

not notice much difference when using COMP. 0.1~0.9.

Therefore, we recommend using the “COMP. MAX” setting. This

greatly compresses the dynamic range and allows you to view

movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the

levels are predetermined and it provides a very natural

compression.
