Hello All,
In the STB's Audio menu there's an option for Dynamic Range. The available settings for Dynamic Range are None, Light, or Heavy. I'm not noticing any difference in the sound regardless of the option chosen. What is this option supposed to do?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range gives you a bit of a winded explantion of what it is. In a nutshell dynamic range is the difference between the quietest and loudest sound.
I beleive the dynamic range setting is designed is to help users that have a certain connections (eg HDMI) deal with fluctationing volume. Heavy compresses the highs and lows to a narrower range, light uses less compression and none of course is no change. If you have trouble hearing some channels and commercials are loud you might want to try heavy. Keep in mind that heavy distorts audio the most and none the least.
My audio system is a Pioneer Amp with a Polk 5.1 speaker system. I've noticed no difference but to be fair I don't think I've tried it under condtions that I would notice it. In addition I'm currently using an optical connection for my audio which apparently doesn't change with dynamic range.
There is a few other threads that discuss this including ....
