x D.Range Comp (Dynamic range
compression)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
soundtrack. This may be useful when you want
to watch movies at low volumes late at night.
Dynamic range compression is possible with
Dolby Digital sources only.
• MAX: The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
• STD: The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
• AUTO: The dynamic range is compressed
automatically.
• OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed.
Tip
“STD” is the standard setting, and enacts light
compression. Therefore, we recommend using the
“MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the
dynamic range and lets you view movies late at
night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the
levels are predetermined and provide a very natural
compression.
x Distance Unit
Lets you select the unit of measurement for
setting distances.
• FEET: The distance is displayed in feet.
• METER: The distance is displayed in
meters.
Surround Settings menu
You can select the sound field and adjust the
effect level, etc. on the “Sound Field Setup”
screen.
For details on the sound field, see “Enjoying
Sound Effects” (page 61).
Note
The setup items you can adjust on each menu vary
depending on the sound field.
To adjust the effect level for
HD-D.C.S.
1
Select “HD-D.C.S.”, then press or
b.
2 Select the effect type you want, then
press .
HD-D.C.S. has three different types:
Dynamic, Theater and Studio. Each type
has different reflection and reverberation
sound mixture levels and is optimized to
match a listener’s room uniqueness, taste
and mood.
• Dynamic: This setting is suitable for an
environment which is reverberant but
lacks a spacious feeling (where sound
absorption is not sufficient). It
emphasizes the reflection of sound and
reproduces the sound of a large, classical
movie theater. Thus, the spacious feeling
of a dubbing theater is emphasized and a
unique acoustic field is created.
• Theater: This setting is suitable for a
general living room. It reproduces the
reverberation of sound just like in a movie
theater (dubbing theater). It is most
appropriate for watching content
recorded on a Blu-ray Disc when you
want the atmosphere of a movie theater.
• Studio: This setting is suitable for a
living room with the appropriate sound
equipment. It reproduces the
reverberation of sound provided when a
theatrical sound source is remixed for a
Blu-ray Disc to a volume level suitable
for home use. The level of reflection and
reverberation of sound is kept to the
minimum. However, dialogues and
surround effects are reproduced vividly.
