Dynamic Range Compression — D.R.C.
You can compress the dynamic range (difference between maximum sound and minimum sound) of the reproduced sound. This is useful when enjoying surround sound at night.
•This function takes effect only when playing back a source using Dolby Digital.
Before you start, remember...
There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software using Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround, follow the procedure below.
•This function takes effect only when the subwoofer (LFE) signals come in, (with “SUBWFR” set to “YES”).
