Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a pro- gram’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to com- press the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows you to lis- ten to a movie at a lower volume without los- ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
