Surround Parameters
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud
sounds). For listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic
Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range).
(This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital) Select one of the four parameters
(“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HI” (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.
NOTE:
• When playing back in the Dolby Pro Logic mode, depending on the settings of each output channel, it may
not be possible to make a setting of the master volume that exceeds 3dB.
