Dynamic Range function can reduce the instant sound 
effect alteration of the movie while playing back. When 
viewing movies at night, turn this function on to avoid 
sudden loud sounds from disturbing your neighbors.

since 1993 have Closed Caption decoders.  Closed 
Captions can be carried on DVD, videotape, 
broadcast TV, cable TV, and so on.
