How to Set the Dynamic Range Control

Return to How to Set Up for Surround Sound

Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds in any given signal. The dynamic range control helps you play back sounds so the quieter sounds are audible yet the louder sounds do not get distorted. It does this by compressing the dynamic range. When watching a movie at low volume, setting this function enables low level sounds to be heard more easily, but you will not be jolted by louder sounds.

Press the UP or DOWN arrow keys to set the dynamic range control ( OFF, MAX, or MID).

Notes:

  • The initial setting is OFF.
  • When the volume level is increased, set to OFF.
  • For listening enjoyment at low volumes, set to MAX for maximum dynamic range compression.
  • Dynamic range control is effective only when a Dolby Digital™ signal is being played back.
