Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. "STD" is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the "MAX" setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression. Note Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only. continued 37US x EFFECT XXX (Effect level) Initial setting: STD Lets you adjust the "presence" of the surround effect in 3 levels ­ MIN (minimum effect), STD (standard effect) and MAX (maximum effect).
