18 SYSTEM SETUP

Dynamic Range
Select DYNAMIC RANGE with the Arrow (

ARROW (

N) or ENTER to access the Dynamic

Range sub-menu.

This setting enables Dolby Digital recordings to
be played back with full dialogue intelligibility
while reducing peak levels by a selected amount.
This smooth level compression prevents abrupt
loud transitions from disturbing others without
reducing the impact of the digital source percep-
tibly.

Select FULL for normal, uncompressed dynamic
range. Select MEDIUM for moderate compression.
Select MINIMUM for the highest level of com-
pression.

Note: If selected, Dynamic Range compression is
only active when a Dolby Digital signal is detect-
ed and only for the analog outputs.
