About the Dynamic Range Compressor
This parameter allows you to compress the dynamic range of the
soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in
the Dolby Digital signal. “STD” is standard compression, but
because many sources have only light compression, you may not
notice much difference when using 0.1~0.9.
Therefore, we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly
compresses the dynamic range and allows you to view movies
late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are
predetermined and provide a very natural compression.
REAR BALANCE

Lets you adjust the balance between the rear left and right
speakers.
• The balance can be adjusted ±8 dB in 1 dB steps.
• This settings can also be adjusted directly using the
supplied remote. See “Adjusting the speaker volume”

REAR LEVEL

• The level can be adjusted in 1 dB steps from –10 dB to

• This settings can also be adjusted directly using the
supplied remote. See “Adjusting the speaker volume”
