Note: Due to copyright restrictions, the player will not output an uncompressed signal in the PCM format from a disc recorded with 96kHz/24bit resolution, such as some DTS audio CDs. If the Digital Output setting in the Audio Setup submenu is set to PCM, the player will always output the original DTS 96/24 signal. Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take advantage of the programming present on some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the volume of louder passages while maintaining intelligibility of quieter passages. This means that you may listen to programs at a level that allows the full impact of a soundtrack to be heard at a volume that is lower than you might otherwise use to avoid disturbing others. The player accomplishes this by compressing the audio to a greater or lesser degree, depending on which setting you choose. Three options are available: · MAXIMUM does not make any changes to the original playback, and should be used when the volume setting in the listening room may be as loud as you desire. · MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of compression so that louder passages are a little bit quieter. · MINIMUM applies more compression so that louder passages are much softer. Note that if your receiver or processor also allows you to program the dynamic range setting, also known as the "Night Mode, " you do not need to make any adjustments on the player and should leave the setting at MAXIMUM.
