Compression
This feature compresses the dynamic range (quietest sound to loudest sound) of a disc’s
soundtrack. For example, action scenes might be very loud, while whispered dialog is quiet. The
Compression feature evens out the range of the volume by making loud sounds quieter and soft
sounds louder. The Compression option is always on. You can adjust the compression with the
Range option (see below).
