This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usuallymixed at 10 dB below film reference.15dB : Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program materialthat is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamicrange.Setting is enabled when “Dynamic EQ” is “ON”.Remote control operationbuttonsDisplay the menuCancel the menuMove the cursor(Up/Down/Left/Right) Confirm the setting Return to previous menu
