Selecting a dynamic range (COMPRESSION switch)

  1. Set the COMPRESSION switch to “ON” on the side of the processor.

Playback effect

ON:
With the sound field mode selected with the SOUND FIELD button (including when the indicator is off), this function maintains the overall level of program material: explosive sounds are attenuated while lower level sounds (dialog, etc.) are enhanced.
Effective for audio signals with a wide dynamic range such as movies and classical music.

  

OFF:
The sound field mode changes to the effect selected with the SOUND FIELD button.

Hint

  • When “ON” or “OFF” is switched, the average volume level may change. In this case, adjust the volume again.
