Setting the dynamic range
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks have a very large dynamic
volume range, hence there is a great difference between quiet and
loud sounds. When played at full volume this can be a fascinating
experience, but it can cause disturbance late at night. Simply re-
ducing the volume does not produce satisfactory results, since the
dialogue can be hard to understand.
You can turn down the louder sounds and turn up the quieter pas-
sages, while retaining the volume of the dialogue. This function is
called the dynamic range.
