of programs containing signicant level differences
from one segment to another (for example, regular
programming to commercials). To receive the
best delity with music programs, you can turn this

Level Sound (for Ant-DTV and IEEE 1394
devices) automatically reduces loud passages and
boosts soft passages to a more uniform loudness.
When connecting to an A/V Receiver, set level
sound to OFF and turn the TV speakers off to send
full dynamics to the A/V Receiver.
This feature depends on the type of digital audio
being received. Some digital audio formats, such
as MPEG do not offer this dynamic range control.
In these cases, no effect will be heard when
changing the level sound setting.
