(The same contents are setfor all operating modes.)D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For listening late at night, orwhenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (butwith reduced dynamic range). (This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.) Select one of the four parameters(“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HI” (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.LFE (Low Frequency Effect):This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds included in the source when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted due to the LFE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS sources when the peak limiter isturned off with the subwoofer peak limit level setting (system setup menu), adjust the level as necessary.Program source and adjustment range:1.
