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 it provides a very natural compression.
