IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.

• For models released in 2024: This setting affects Dolby Audio and HE-AAC audio contents.
• For models released in 2023 or before: This setting affects Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby AC-4 sound sources.

To set the Dolby Dolby Dynamic Range, follow the next steps:

1. Access the Settings screen according to your TV remote options:
   • Press the Quick Settings ( or ) button, then select Settings. (For models with the Quick settings button on the remote)
   • Press the HOME button, then select Settings.
2. The following steps depend on your TV menu options:
   • Select Display & Sound → Picture & Sound → Sound (xxx) → Dynamic range settings → Dynamic Range (current input) → Standard or Compressed.
     Note: The Sound (xxx) options differ depending on the output device or region. For example, Sound (TV speakers) or Sound (Audio system).
   • Select Display & Sound → Sound → Volume level → Dolby Dynamic Range → Standard or Compressed.
   • Select Sound → Sound → Advanced settings → Input related → Dolby Dynamic Range → Standard or Compressed.
3. Select Standard or Compressed.
   • Standard mode takes the widest dynamic range because signals are directly played back. Quiet signals remain quiet, and loud signals remain loud.
   • Compressed mode compresses the volume difference and increases the overall volume. Thus, the audio is easier to hear regardless of the sound source's dynamic range.
