Selecting the dynamic range
In many listening situations, it is objectionable to allow the sound
to become very loud, and thus the loudest sounds must be
compressed downwards in level. Likewise, the very quiet
sounds would be inaudible and must be brought upwards in
level to be heard. Dolby Digital satisfies these needs through
the dynamic range controlling.
Selects the dynamic range compression to fit the individual
listening situation of the audience. The variable range is from
FULL, 7/8 to 1/8, or OFF.
The default setting is OFF.
•FULL: Audio with fully compressed dynamic range.
•7/8~1/8: Audio with partially compressed dynamic range.
•OFF: Audio with uncompressed dynamic range.
Notes
•The Dual Mono and Dynamic Range settings only support
Dolby Digital programs.
•The higher the setting selected will result in audio with a
more fully compressed dynamic range.
