Audio Settings DVD VCD Display Audio 1 Digital Output 2 Dynamic Range Control 3 Speaker Maximum Dynamic range "Dynamic range" is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater. However, in a level suitable for listening in your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noises in your environment. Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to reduce an original sound track's dynamic range for a home audio format by "compressing" the data of sound. 2 Press or to select the preferred mode, and then press SELECT. Audio Settings 1 Maximum 2 Standard 3 Minimum Dynamic Range Control 1 Maximum A source is played back in the original sound track's wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds like a movie theater. Selecting this mode will be more ideal if you can listen to a source in a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment. 2 Standard A source is played back in the "compressed" dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening. 3 Minimum Dynamic range is more reduced than in the "Standard" position. Selecting this mode will be effective when you must listen to a source in an extremely low level. * In this mode, it may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on a source. In that case, select "Maximum" or "Standard". Factory default setting: Maximum 61
