Remote Control Functions
The JBL Cinema ProPack 600IIis equipped with
a powerful remote control that will control the
functions of not only the DCR600
IIreceiver and
DVD600
IIDVD changer, but also most popular
brands of audio and video equipment, including
CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes,
VCRs, satellite receivers and other home theater
equipment. Once the remote is programmed
with the codes for the products you own, it is
possible to eliminate most other remotes and
replace them with the convenience of a single,
universal remote control.
Programming the Remote
As shipped from the factory, the remote is fully
programmed for all DCR600
IIand DVD600IIfunc-
tions. In addition, by following one of the meth-
ods below, you may program the remote to oper-
ate a wide range of devices from other manufac-
turers.
We suggest that you refrain from reprogramming
the main and DVD functions. Should you repro-
gram them inadvertently, you may reprogram each
of these buttons individually to code 001 to reset
it without disturbing other functions programmed
into the remote.
Entering Product Codes
This method is the easiest way to program your
remote to work with different products.
1. Use the tables on pages 28 to 37 to determine
the three-digit code or codes that match both
the product type (e.g., VCR, TV) and the
specific brand name. If there is more than one
number for a brand, make note of the differ-
ent choices.
2.Turn on the unit you wish to program into the
remote.
3. Press and hold both the Input Selector
ijl–ofor the product you wish to
control (e.g., VCR, TV) and the 
Mute Button
cat the same time. When the Program
Indicator LED
lights, release the buttons.
The light under the Input Selector key will
appear. It is important that you begin the next
step within 20 seconds.
4. Point the remote towards the unit to be 
programmed, and enter the first three-digit
code number using the 
Numeric Keys
–. If the unit turns off, the
correct code has been entered. Press the 
Input
Selector
ijl–oagain, and note
that the red light will flash three times before
going dark to confirm the entry.
5. If the device to be programmed in does NOT
turn off, continue to enter three-digit code
numbers until the equipment turns off. At this
point, the correct code has been entered.
Press the 
Input Selectorijl–o
again and note that the red light under the
Input Selectorwill flash three times before
going dark to confirm the entry.
6. Try all of the functions on the remote to make
certain that the product operates properly.
Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a
number of different combinations of codes, so
it is a good idea to make certain that not only
the power control, but the volume, channel
and transport controls work as they should. If
all functions do not work properly, you may
need to use a different remote code.
7.If a code cannot be entered to turn the unit
off, if the code for your product does not
appear in the tables in this manual, or if not
all functions operate properly, try program-
ming the remote with the Auto Search
Method.
Auto-Searching for Product CodesIf the unit you wish to include in the remote is
not listed in the code tables in this manual or if
the code does not seem to operate properly, you
may wish to program the correct code using the
Auto Search method that follows:
1. Turn on the unit that you wish to include in
the remote.
2. Press the Input Selectorijl–o
for the type of product to be entered (e.g.,
VCR, TV) and the 
Mute Buttoncat the
same time. Hold both buttons until the 
red light under the 
Input Selectorij
l
–oand the Program Indicator LED
stay lit. Note that the next step must take
place while the red light is on, and it must
begin within 20 seconds after the light
appears.
3. Point the remote towards the unit to be 
programmed, and press either the ⁄or ¤
Buttony. Each press will send out a
series of codes from the remote’s built-in data-
base. When the unit being programmed turns
off, release the 
⁄or¤Buttony, as
that is your indication that the correct code 
is in use.
4. Press the Input Selectorijl–o
and note that the red light under the Input
Selector will flash three times before going
dark to confirm the entry.
5. Try all of the functions on the remote to make
certain that the product operates. Keep in
mind that many manufacturers use a number
of different combinations of codes, and it is a
good idea to make certain that not only the
power control works, but also that the
volume, channel and transport controls 
operate, as appropriate. If all functions do not
work properly, you may need to Auto-Search
for a different code, or enter a code via the
Direct Code Entry method.
Reading Back the Programmed Code
When the code has been entered using the Auto
Search method, it is always a good idea to find
out the exact code so that it may be easily reen-
tered if necessary. You may also read the codes
to verify which device has been programmed to
a specific Control Selector button. 
1. Press and hold both the Input Selector
ijl–ofor the device for which
you wish to find the code and the 
Mute
Button
cat the same time. Note that the
Program Indicator LEDand the light under
the 
Input Selectorijl–owill
light. Release the buttons and begin the next
step within 20 seconds.
2. Press the Set Button. The Program
Indicator LED
will then blink in a sequence
that corresponds to the three-digit code, with a
one-second pause between digits. Count the
number of blinks between pauses to determine
the digit of the code. One blink is the number 1,
two blinks is the number 2, and so forth, while
10 blinks are used to indicate a “0.”
Example: One blink, followed by a one-second
pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a
one-second pause, followed by 10 blinks indi-
cates that the code has been set to 160.

Remote Control Functions
Programming Macros 
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the remote control. Once
programmed, a macro will send out up to 19 
different remote codes in a predetermined
sequential order, enabling you to automate the
process of turning on your system, changing
devices, or other common tasks. The remote can
store up to three separate macro command
sequences: one that is associated with the Power
On Button
b, and two more that are accessed
by pressing the 
Macro Buttonsfg.
The JBL One Click™ remote also features two
preprogrammed functions, 
ALL OFFuand
ALL ONv, that turn all eight programmed
devices off or on when the appropriate key is
pressed.
1. Press the Mute Buttoncand the Macro
Buttons
fgto be programmed or the
Power On Buttonbat the same time.
Note that the 
Program Indicator LEDwill
light.
2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command
step. The first step of the macro must be to
press the 
Input Selectordh–j
l
–ofor the first device for which you
are programming a command. That will cause
the light under that Input Selector to turn on.
Although the macro may contain up to 19
steps, each button press, including those
used to change devices, counts as a step. 
The 
Input Selectordh–jl–o
will flash to confirm each button press as you
enter commands.
NOTE: While entering commands for Power
On/Off of any device during a macro sequence,
press the 
Mute Buttonc. DO NOT press the
actual Power button.
3. When all the steps have been entered,
press the

Device Functions
Once the remote has been programmedfor the
codes of other devices, press the appropriate
Input
Selector
dijl–oto change the
remote from controlling the DCR600
IIand
DVD600
IIto controlling the additional product.
When you press any one of the selectors, it will
briefly flash in red to indicate that you have
changed the device being controlled.When operating a device other than the 
DCR600
IIor DVD600II, the controls may not 
correspond exactly to the function printed on 
the remote or button. Some commands, such as
the transport controls, will operate the same
way for that device as they do for the DCR600
II
and DVD600II. Other buttons will change their
function so that they correspond to a secondary
label on the remote. For example, the
Sleepp
and Surround Mode Selector tbuttons
also function as the Channel Up and Channel
Down buttons when operating most TV sets,
VCRs or cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down
indication is printed directly on the remote. For
many standard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs
and DVD functions, the standard function icons
are printed on top of the buttons.
For some products, however, the function of a
particular button does not follow the command
printed on the remote. In order to see which
function a button controls, consult the Function
List tables on pages 26 and 27. To use those
tables, first check the type of device being con-
trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote
control diagram. Note that each button has a
number on it.
To find out what function a particular button has
for a specific device, find the button number on
the Function List and then look in the column for
the device you are controlling. For example, 
button number 7 is the Macro 2 button for the
DCR600
II, but it is the Repeat button for CD 
players, and the Favorite Channels button for
cable boxes and satellite receivers. Button num-
ber 32 is the Delay button for the DCR600
II, but
the Time button for CD players, and Preview
Channel button for many TVs, cable television
boxes and satellite services.
Notes on Using the Remote 
With Other Devices
•Manufacturers may use different code sets for
the same product category. For that reason, it
is important that you check to see whether the
code set you have entered operates as many
controls as possible. If it appears that only a
few functions operate, check to see whether
another code set will work with more buttons.
•When a button is pressed on the remote, 
the red light under the 
Input Selectord
h
–jl–ofor the product being
operated should flash briefly. If the Device
Control Selector flashes for some but not all
buttons for a particular product, it does NOT
indicate a problem with the remote but rather
that no function is programmed for the button
being pushed. Consult the Function List onpages 26 and 27. Blank squares indicate that
no function is programmed for that button for
the corresponding device. Consult the device‘s
owner‘s manual for further information.
Volume Control Punch-Through
The remote may be programmed to operate the
Volume Controlswand Mutecfunc-
tions of either the TV or the DCR600
IIin conjunc-
tion with any of the devices controlled by the
remote. For example, since the DCR600IIwill likely
be used as the sound system for TV viewing,
you may wish to have the volume control on the
DCR600
II activated, although the remote is set
to run the TV. To program the remote for Volume
Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selectordijl–
ofor the source unit you wish to have asso-
ciated with the volume control and the

Indicator LED
will light.
2. Press the Volume Up Buttonsand note
thatthe 
Input Selectordijl–
owill flash once.
3. Press either the MAIN Selectorhor the
Input Selectordijl–o,
depending on which system’s volume control
you wish to have attached for the punch-
through mode. The 
Program Indicator LED
will go out and the Input Selectordi
jl
–oyou pressed in Step 1 will blink
three times and then go out to confirm the
data entry.
Examples:
1. To adjust the volume control for the
DCR600
IIwhile the remote is set to control
the DVD600
II, press the DVD Selector d
and the Mute Button cat the same time,
then press the

Remote Control Functions
Channel Control Punch-Through
The remote may be programmed to operate so
that the channel control function for either the
TV, cable or satellite receiver used in your system
may be used in conjunction with one of the other
devices controlled by the remote. For example,
while using and controlling the VCR, you may
wish to change channels on a cable box or satel-
lite receiver without having to change the device
selected by the DCR600
IIor the remote. To pro-
gram the remote for Channel Control Punch-
Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector Buttondij

Transport Control Punch-Through
The remote may be programmed to operate so
that the 
Transport Control–functions
(Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and
Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in con-
junction with one of the other devices controlled
by the remote. For example, while using and con-
trolling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your
VCR or DVD without having to change the device
selected by the DCR600
IIor the remote. To 
program the remote for Transport Control Punch-
Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selectordij

NOTE:Before programming the remote for
Volume, Channel or Transport Punch-Through,
make certain that any programming needed to
assign the remote to control the specific TV, CD,
DVD, cable or satellite receivers has been 
completed.
Reassigning Devices
Although each Input Selectordij
l
–ois normally assigned to the category of
product shown on the remote, it is possible to
reassign one of these buttons to operate a sec-
ond device of another type. For example, if you
have a cable box and satellite receiver, but only
one VCR, you may program the “VID2” button to
operate a cable box. Before following the normal
programming steps for either three-digit entry or
Auto Search code entry, you must first reassign
the button with the following steps:
1. Press the Input Selectordij

lights.
2. Press the Input Selectordijl–
ofor the device you wish to program into
the reassigned button.
3. Enter the three-digit code for the specific
model you wish the reassigned button to
operate, and the 
Program Indicator LED
will flash.
4. Press the same Input Selectordij
l
–opressed in Step 1 once again to
store the selection. The red LED under the
reassigned 
Input Selectorwill flash three
times and then go out.
Example:To use the VID2 button to operate

Resetting the Remote Memory
As you add components to your home theater
system, occasionally you may wish to totally
reprogram the remote control without the confu-
sion of any commands, macros or ”Punch-
Through“ programming that you may have done.
To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to
the original factory defaults and command codes
by following these steps. Note, however, that
once the remote is reset, all commands or codes
that you have entered will be erased and will
need to be reentered:
1. Press any of the Input Selector Buttons d

DVD Compatibility &
Terminology
The DVD600IIis more than a DVD player; 
it will play the following disc formats:
•Both 5-inch (12cm) and 3-inch (8cm) discs
•CD audio discs
•DTS audio discs
•CD-R audio discs
•CD-RW audio discs
•DVD movie discs
•VCD (video CD) discs
•MP3 audio discs
However, it will NOT play the following:
•DVD discs with a Region Code other than 
the one for which the player is set
•DVD discs with PAL format video
•DVD-Audio discs
•DVD-ROM data discs
•DVD-RAM data discs
•CD-R/RW data discs
•CD-I discs
•CD-G discs
•SVCD discs
•Photo CD discs
Notes on DVD-Audio discs: 
• The DVD600
IIis not capable of playing selec-
tions in the DVD-Audio format. However, many
DVD-Audio discs include audio tracks in the
PCM, Dolby Digital or other formats which the
DVD600
IIis capable of playing. You may need 
to press the 
Title Button xrather than the
Menu Buttonzin order to access these 
formats.
• Some DVD-Audio discs display a still picture
while a selection is playing. Sometimes, this
picture may disappear when play is stopped and
the DVD600
IIis placed in the Resume mode. To
restore the picture, fully stop play by pressing
the 
Stop Buttontwice before contin-
uing play.
NOTE: Due to differences in the format of 
certain discs, it is possible that some discs may
include a mix of features that are not compati-
ble with the DVD600
II. Similarly, although the
DVD600
IIis capable of a wide range of features,
not all discs include every capability of the 
DVD system. For example, although the 
DVD600
IIis compatible with multi-angle discs,
that feature is only possible when the disc is
specially encoded for multiple-angle play. In
addition, the DVD600
IIis capable of playing back
both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, but the
number and types of tracks available will vary
from disc to disc. To make certain that a specific
feature or soundtrack option is available, please
check the options noted on the disc jacket.
•Playback of DTS audio discs requires 
connection to a processor or receiver with 
a DTS decoder, such as the DCR600
II.
•Playback capability for CD-R/RW discs may
vary due to variations in the quality of the 
CD-R/RW disc and the recorder used to 
create the disc.
Since they share some of the characteristics and
technology of CD players, many of the terms
and operational concepts used in a DVD player
are similar to what you may be familiar with
from CD players and changers, or older video
disc formats such as Laser Disc. However, if this
is your first DVD product, some of the terms
used to describe the features of a DVD player
may be unfamiliar. The following explanations
should solve some of the mysteries of DVD, and
help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of
the DVD format and the DVD.
Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width
of a video image in relation to its height. A con-
ventional video screen is four units wide for
every three units of height, making it almost
square. Newer, wide-aspect ratio video displays
are 16 units wide for every nine units of height,
making them more like the screen in a movie
theater. The program material on a DVD may be
recorded in either format and, in addition, you
may configure the DVD to play back in either
format, depending on the features recorded 
on a disc.
Chapter:DVD programs are divided into chap-
ters and titles. Chapters are the subsections
programmed into a single title on a disc.
Chapters may be compared to the individual
tracks on an audio CD. Press the Menu button to
see a listing of the chapters on a disc.
Component Video: This is an advanced form of
video signal which eliminates many of the arti-
facts of traditional composite-video signals by
splitting the signal into a separate luminance
channel and two color-difference signals. With a
component-video connection, you will see
greater picture resolution and eliminate many
picture imperfections, such as the moiré pat-
terns often seen on check-patterned cloths.
However, in order to benefit from component
video, you must have a video display with
Y/Pr/Pb component-video inputs. Do not connect
the component-video outputs of the DVD600
IIto 
the standard composite or S-Video inputs of a
TV or recorder.
MP3:MP3 is a format of data file containing a
compressed version of an audio selection.
Numerous MP3 files are available for downloadfrom the Internet onto your personal computer.
Many users are able to copy these files onto
compact discs. Until recently, it has not been pos-
sible to play these discs in a standard CD or DVD
player. However, the DVD600
IIis capable of rec-
ognizing and playing program material on MP3
audio discs. 
Multiple Angle:DVDs have the capability to
show up to four different views of the same
scene in a program. When a disc is encoded
with multiple-angle information, pressing the
Angle button will enable you to switch between
these different views. Note that, at present, 
few discs take advantage of this capability and,
when they do, the multiple-angle technology
may only be present for short periods of time
within the disc. Producers will usually insert
some sort of icon or graphic in the picture to
alert you to the availability of multiple-angle
scenes.
Reading:This is a message that you will see
when you first press the Play button. It refers 
to the fact that the player must first examine
the contents of the disc to see whether it is a
CD or DVD, and then extract the information
about the type of material on the disc, such as
languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of
titles and more. The slight delay while the con-
tents of the disc are read is normal.
Resume:The operation of the Stop button on
the DVD600
IIworks differently from what you
are used to on CD or CD players. On a traditional
CD player, when you press the Stop button, the
unit does just that: it stops playback. On a CD
player, when you press the Start button again,
the disc starts from the beginning. With the
DVD600
II, however, you have two options when
playing CDs or DVDs (but not MP3 discs).
Pressing Stop once will stop the playback, but it
actually puts the unit in the Resume mode. This
means that you can turn the machine off and,
when you press Play the next time, the disc will
resume or continue from the point on the disc
where the Stop button was pressed. This is
helpful if you are watching a movie and must
interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick
up where you left off. Pressing the Stop button
twice will stop the machine in a traditional
manner and, when the disc is played again, it
will start from the beginning.
Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire
movie or program. For a DVD-Audio disc, the
title may be defined as the audio track, e.g., lin-
ear PCM or 5.1-channel Dolby Digital. There
may be as many chapters within a title as the
producers decide to include. Most discs include 
						

							47
Configuring the DVD600IIDVD Changer
only one title, but some may have more than
one, to give you a “Double Feature” presenta-
tion or to include special presentations that take
you “behind the scenes” of the main feature.
Press the Title button to see a listing of the
titles on a disc. When a disc has only one title,
pressing the Title button may show a list of the
chapters.
The DVD600IIis turned on in two steps.

Parental Lock and Passwords
The DVD600IIenables you to control the discs
that are viewed by setting a ratings level. When
a disc that’s ready to play has a rating level
greater than the default, it will not play. To 
further protect against unauthorized viewing of
restricted discs, the ratings-level option may be
locked so that only authorized persons (such as
a parent) may change the ratings level after a
password is entered.
The ratings system is dependent on information
encoded into the DVD disc being played so, 
although most movies will carry an MPAA or
other rating symbol, the disc may or may not
contain that rating in its software. In addition to
the five MPAA ratings of G, PG, PG-13, R and
NC-17, the DVD600
IIwill accommodate a total
of eight ratings steps, as set by the creators of
the DVD format. These additional steps allow
for more critical control of program playback for
all audiences.
To select the permitted ratings values, you must
be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is
available by pressing the 
Menu Buttonz
while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup
Menu, press the 
¤Buttonuntil the
Ratings option is highlighted.
To change the default Ratings setting, press the
›Buttonand note that the list of system
defaults will be replaced with a list of the 
program ratings, as shown in Figure 5. Some 
ratings will be highlighted in light blue, while 
others will be highlighted in purple. Discs with a
rating in the light blue color band will play with-
out any further action by the viewer. Discs with 
ratings in the purple band will only play after a
password is entered.

Password Selection and Control Lock
The Password System is used to control viewing
of restricted programs and one’s capability to
change the password itself. The DVD600
IIis
shipped without a password and with the set-
tings for the password system unlocked. The fol-
lowing instructions will show how to add a
password and to lock the settings.
To set a password or lock the password system,
you must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1),
which is available by pressing the

Setting the Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio of a television picture is the
relationship between its width and height, and
it defines the shape of the picture. Television
sets have traditionally had an aspect ratio of
4x3, which is to say that they are almost
square, with slightly more width than height.
Almost all television programming is presented
in the 4 x 3 aspect ratio so that the pictures fit
within the confines of the TV screen.
Movies, on the other hand, have a variety of
what are known as “wide aspect ratio” formats
that are significantly wider in relation to their
height than traditional television pictures.
Indeed, the development of wide-screen movies
was something that was popularized in the
1950s in response to the success of television;
movie producers wanted to provide a wider
vista than what was afforded by TVs. 
However, since many movies are produced for a
wider screen than the TV set they are played on,
a problem arises that is like fitting a square peg
into a round hole. In many instances this is
taken care of by the disc’s producers, who refor-
mat the image to fit within a standard 4 x 3 TV
screen. Discs such as this require no special
setting. The only downside to this is that when
wide-screen movies are converted to 4 x 3,
some of the information at the sides of a scene
may be cut off due to the difference in picture
shape. This is also called a “pan and scan”
presentation, as a 4 x 3 viewing area is moved
across the wider cinema image.
Other discs are produced in what is called a
“letterbox wide-screen” format. In this case, the
entire wide image is fit inside the 4 x 3 screen
shape from side to side. This means that you
see the entire picture as the movie’s director
intended, but the height of the picture is
reduced to accommodate the added width. The
blank areas that appear at the top and bottom
of the screen make the image in the center
appear as if you are looking through a mail slot,
giving this sort of presentation the nickname of
“letterbox.” The DVD format accommodates both of these
formats, though it is up to the producer of the
disc to select which way to convert the movie to
video. Sometimes you will have only one of the
two formats, while some discs offer a full
screen, with the pan-and-scan version on one
side of a disc and the wide-screen, but letterbox
version, on the other side. 
The DVD600
IIwill play either type of disc, and
you may select a default that tells which way to
present the image when there is a choice.
To select an aspect ratio default, you must be
viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1), which is
available by pressing the 
Menu Buttonz
while the unit is in the Stop mode. At the Setup
Menu, press the 
¤Buttonuntil the
Aspect Ratio option is highlighted. Next, press
the 
Enter Button. Select one of the three
choices in the options box (Figure 13) using the
⁄/¤Buttonsy. 
Figure 13
Depending on the type of television set you
have, choose one of these three options:
•4 x 3 Letterbox: Choose this setting if you
have a standard 4 x 3 television set and 
prefer to see movies in their original aspect
ratio. You will see the entire movie but, when
it is presented in a letterbox fashion, there
will be black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen. Movies or other programs recorded in a
4 x 3 format will appear normal.
•4 x 3 Pan and Scan: Choose this setting if 
you have a standard 4 x 3 television set and
always want the image to fill the entire
screen. When a wide-screen movie is shown,
you may not see parts of the picture at one
side of the screen or the other. Note, how-
ever, that even when you select this option,
playing a wide-screen-only movie will result in
black letterbox bars at the top and bottom of
the screen. This is due to the way the disc
was produced, and it cannot be changed.
•16 x 9 Wide-Screen: Choose this setting only
if you have a wide-screen television set(16 x 9 aspect ratio). With this setting, the
DVD600
IIwill adjust the output for wide-screen
movies so that they fill the entire screen in
the proper aspect ratio. Note, however, that in
this setting a disc recorded in the 4 x 3 aspect
ratio will appear in the wide screen as a
boxed image in the center, with black columns
on the left and right sides of the screen.
NOTE:If the wide-screen option is chosen 
and a wide-screen movie is played on a conven-
tional 4 x 3 aspect ratio set, the image will be
distorted due to vertical compression.
When you have made your selection using the
⁄/¤Buttonsyto highlight the desired
option, press the 
Enter Buttonand note
that the circle next to your choice will fill in. The
menu system will then automatically return to
the status listing.
If you have no other changes to make after set-
ting this default, press the 
Menu Buttonz
to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or
press the 
Play/Pause Buttonto
begin or resume playback.
Setting the Dynamic Range
With the DVD format you have the opportunity
to hear a program’s soundtrack in the most
accurate and realistic presentation possible,
thanks to the use of digital audio technology.
However, in certain instances you may wish to
slightly compress the dynamic range of the audio
output (the difference between the loudest
sounds and the quietest ones) so that you 
may listen to a movie at a lower volume that 
does not disturb others without losing dialogue
intelligibility. 
In most cases, it is desirable to leave the
Dynamic Range setting at “OFF” so that no 
compression is applied to the audio, but if you
wish to change to a compressed setting, follow
these steps:
First, you must be viewing the Setup Menu
(Figure 1), which is available by pressing the
Menu Buttonzwhile the unit is in the 
Stop mode. At the Setup Menu, press the 
¤Buttonuntil the Dynamic Range option
is highlighted. Next, press the 
Enter Button
and select one of the two choices in the
options box using the 
⁄/¤Buttonsy
(Figure 14). The choices are as follows:
•Off:Select this option to turn off the Dynamic
Range compression and have the soundtrack
presented exactly as it was authored.
