●BD/DVD video precaution
• Conversational speech on some
BDs/DVDs is recorded at a low
volume to emphasize the
impact of sound effects. If you
adjust the volume assuming
that the conversations represent
the maximum volume level that
the BD/DVD will play, you may
be startled by louder sound
effects or startled when you
change to a different audio
source. Loud sounds may have
a significant impact on the
