Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
With the DVD format, you can hear a pro-
gram's soundtrack in the most accurate and
realistic presentation, thanks to digital audio
technology. However, you may wish to com-
press the dynamic range of the audio output
(the difference between the loudest sounds
and the quietest ones). This allows you to lis-
ten to a movie at a lower volume without los-
ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this
effect.
