Adjusting the Dynamic Range of the Audio Soundtrack

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. 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 menu.
