Dynamic range compressor (COMP.
D. RANGE
xx)
Initial setting : OFF
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.
• OFF reproduces the sound track with no compression.
• STD reproduces the sound track with the dynamic
range intended by the recording engineer.
• 0.1 ~ 0.9 allow you to compress the dynamic range in
small steps to achieve the sound you want.
• MAX provides a dramatic compression of the dynamic
range.
Note
Dynamic range compression is not possible with DTS sources.

About the Dynamic Range Compressor
This parameter allows you to compress the dynamic range of the
soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in
the Dolby Digital signal. “STD” is standard compression, but
because many sources have only light compression, you may not
notice much difference when using 0.1~0.9.
Therefore, we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly
compresses the dynamic range and allows you to view movies
late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are
predetermined and it provides a very natural compression.
Adjusting the bass/treble
The BASS/TREBLE button lets you adjust the tone (bass
or treble) of the front speakers for optimum sound. You
