About DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)
With the DVD format you have the opportunity to
hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate
and realistic presentation possible, thanks to the use
of digital audio technology. However, in certain
instances you may wish to slightly compress the
dynamic range of the audio output (the difference
between the loudest sounds and the
quietest ones) so that you may listen to a movie at a
lower volume without losing dialogue intelligibility.
NOTES:
• The DRC function works only during playback of
Dolby Digital recorded discs.
• The level of Dynamic Range Compression may dif-
fer depending on the DVD disc.
• When playing karaoke, connect appropriate audio
equipment (such as an amplifier) to the DVD video
player.
