Dynamic Compression
This is only active when a Dolby Digital signal is detected.  
On : When Movie soundtracks are played at low volume or 
from smaller speakers, the system can apply appropriate 
compression to make low-level content more intelligible 
and prevent dramatic passages from getting too loud.
Off : You can enjoy the movie with the standard Dynamic 
Range. 
AV Sync
Video may look slower than the audio when the player is
connected to a digital TV. If this occurs, adjust the audio
delay time to match the video.  
You can set the audio delay time between 0 ms and 300 
ms. Set it to the optimal status.
