“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 the condition of your listening environment, Dynamic
Range function can reduce the instant sound effect
alteration of the movie while playing back. When seeing
movies in the night, turn this function on to avoid the
suddenly loud sound to influence your neighbors.

? LPCM 48K

In the Linear PCM setting, “48K” means “the digital
audio output maximum sampling rate is 48KHz”;
therefore, when the title’s encoding sampling rate* is
96KHz, the output will be forced converted to 48KHz.

NOTES:

i Sampling rate:

When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the sound is
sampled and converted to data at a specific frequency rate. For
example, a signal with a 96 kHz sampling rate indicates that in one
second, the analog signal was sampled 96000 times to produce
the digital signal.

i In LPCM set-up menu, there will be a case that even when “LPCM

96K” is selected, output signal is converted to 48KHz if the disc has
