Lets you adjust the speaker levels and balance
while listening to the test tone from your
listening position. For details, see “8:
Adjusting the speaker levels and balance
(TEST TONE)” (page 39).

Lets you adjust the balance between front left
and right speakers.

COMP. LEVEL (Dynamic range
compressor)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
sound track. 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.
•
COMP. OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
•

dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
“COMP. STD” is the standard setting, but it only
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the “COMP. 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
