Description
Dynamic Range 
Control (DRC)
With DVDs, you can hear a program’s 
soundtrack in the most accurate and 
realistic presentation possible, due to 
digital audio technology. However, you 
may want to compress the dynamic 
range of the audio output (the difference 
between the loudest sounds and the 
quietest ones). Then, you can listen to a 
movie at a lower volume without losing 
clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this 
effect.
Vocal
Set Vocal to On only when a 
multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. 
The karaoke channels on the disc will 
mix into normal stereo sound.
Auto Play
You can set up the DVD player so a DVD 
automatically starts playing whenever 
the DVD is inserted.
If Auto Play mode is set to On, this DVD 
player searches a title that has the 
longest playback time and then plays 
back that title automatically.
On: Auto Play function is activated.
Off: Auto Play function is not activated.
Note: The Auto Play function may not 
work for some DVDs.
