x D.Range Comp (Dynamic range compression) 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 compressed automatically. • OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed. Tip "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. Surround Settings menu 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 61). Note The setup items you can adjust on each menu vary depending on the sound field. To adjust the effect level for HD-D.C.S. 1 Select "HD-D.C.S.", then press or b. 2 Select the effect type you want, then press . HD-D.C.S. has three different types: Dynamic, Theater 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: This setting is suitable for an environment which is reverberant but lacks a spacious feeling (where sound absorption is not sufficient). It emphasizes the reflection of sound and reproduces the sound of a large, classical movie theater. Thus, the spacious feeling of a dubbing theater is emphasized and a unique acoustic field is created. • Theater: This setting is suitable for a general living room. It reproduces the reverberation of sound just like in a movie theater (dubbing theater). It is most appropriate for watching content recorded on a Blu-ray Disc when you want the atmosphere of a movie theater. • Studio: This setting is suitable for a living room with the appropriate sound equipment. It reproduces the reverberation of sound provided when a theatrical sound source is remixed for a Blu-ray Disc to a volume level suitable for home use. The level of reflection and reverberation of sound is kept to the minimum. However, dialogues and surround effects are reproduced vividly. 96US
