Adjusting the Dynamic Range of the Audio Soundtrack – DVD

Audio DRC stands for Audio Dynamic Range Compression. When Audio DRC is on, soft sounds such as dialog can be heard more clearly without making loud sounds even louder. Select from three levels of compression depending on how much effect you want. When Audio DRC is set to “Off”, there is no effect on the audio source.

Make changes to the [Audio DRC] setting in the Setup screen Audio 2 menu.
