Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones).Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing dialog intelligibility. Set DRC to On for this effect.

PBC

Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.

-On:Video CDs with PBC are played according to the PBC.

-Off:Video CDs with PBC are played the same way as Audio CDs.

Vocal

Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing.The karaoke channels on the disc will mix into a normal stereo sound.
