 Dynamic Range
“Dynamic range” is the difference between the
maximum level and the minimum level of sounds.
Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie
theaters feature a very wide dynamic range, so
sometimes it is not suitable for home use. Depending on

viewing movies at night, turn this function on to avoid
sudden loud sounds from disturbing your neighbors.

Captions can be carried on DVD, videotape, broadcast
TV, cable TV, and so on.
