x AUDIO DRC
You can compress the dynamic range of the
sound track. This may be useful when you
want to watch movies at low volumes.
AUDIO DRC only applies to Dolby Digital
sources.
• DRC OFF: Does not compress dynamic
range.
• DRC STD: Compress dynamic range as
intended by the recording engineer.
• DRC MAX: Compress dynamic range
dramatically.
Tip
Audio dynamic range compression lets you
compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based
on the dynamic range information included in the
Dolby Digital signal.
“DRC STD” is the standard setting, but it only
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the “DRC MAX” setting. This greatly
compresses the dynamic range and lets you view
movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog
limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a
very natural compression.
You can adjust the tonal quality (bass/treble
level) of the front speakers.
