It does this by compressing the dynamic range. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and the softest sounds in any given signal. Compressing the range plays sounds so the quieter ones are audible and the louder ones don't get distorted or become overpowering. This feature only applies to Dolby Digital sources but the MIDNIGHT LISTENING mode accomplishes the same end for a variety of sources (see page 49). If continuing from Bass Peak Level go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in "Setting Up for Surround Sound" (p. 29) first.

See "Setting Up for Surround Sound" on page 29 if you are unsure how to do this. In STEREO mode only the front two speakers, and sometimes the subwoofer (if you have one), are used. STANDARD mode This mode is for pure decoding of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS sources. It is good for enjoying regular movies/videos that have been recorded in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS. STANDARD 7. 1 is also the basic mode for enjoying sources with SURROUND BACK channels. For more detailed information see p. 83-84. You will only be able to access the second two modes if you have hooked up SURROUND BACK speaker(s). For more detailed information see p. 19, 32-33. The display will show you what kind of source (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. ) is being played. STANDARD Use this mode with sources that do not have SURROUND BACK channels. If you don't have SURROUND BACK speaker(s) switched on (see p. 32-33) this is the only STANDARD mode you will be able to select on the receiver. STANDARD 7. 1 This mode is best for sources with SURROUND BACK channels. You will only be able to access this mode if you have set the SURROUND BACK speakers in the SPEAKER SETUP procedure (see p. 32-33). Also, this mode will play 5. 1 channels sources and other sources through all the speakers you have hooked up, routing some of the sound into your SURROUND BACK channel or channels. STANDARD 7. 1 will appear in the display even if you only have one SURROUND BACK speaker hooked up.
