DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL
This feature makes it possible to enjoy full surround sound effects on Dolby Digital sources even at low
volumes. 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 (explained on p.48) accomplishes the same end for a variety of
sources. If continuing from BASS PEAK LEVEL MANAGER go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in
“Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.30) first.
1 Press the DYNAMIC RANGE
CONTROL button.
2 Choose the amount of DYNAMIC
RANGE CONTROL, OFF, MID or
MAX, you want.
The default setting is OFF.
3 Press the SETUP OK button.
Hold the remote control pointed towards the amplifier
until you see the “RECEIVED” display on the
amplifier.
If "ERROR" flashes in the display, perform the setup
operations from the first step again.

Digital sources before you can use the DYNAMIC
RANGE CONTROL setting to suit your low volume
listening needs.
If you are listening at loud volumes we
recommend turning the Dynamic Range Control
