Dynamic range setting
DVD discs have a wider dynamic range (sound volume
range) than existing VHS videotapes or CD discs. If they are
played in home systems, there may be too much difference
between the loud and quiet sounds. Therefore, if the volume
is set so that the quiet sounds can be heard clearly, the loud
sounds may be far too loud.
On the other hand, if the volume is set so that the loud
sounds are not too loud, you may not be able to hear the
quiet sounds. Three settings are available to control the dy-
namic range easily.
