• Each time these buttons are pressed, the parameter mode changes as follows:

→ "DRC" ↔ "PANO" ↔ "C.WIDTH" ↔ "DIMEN" ←

(Dynamic Range Compression) (Panorama mode) (Center width control) (Dimension control)

• "DRC" can be selected only while playing digital signals from Dolby Digital or DTS source.

■When selecting the "DRC (Dynamic Range Compression :

Night mode)"

This function compresses the dynamic range of previously specified parts of Dolby Digital or DTS sound track (with extremely high volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track when watching movies at night at low levels. The night mode can be set in 11 steps from OFF(0.0) to MAX(1.0) (default value : OFF(0.0)).

■Note :

•In some Dolby Digital or DTS softwares, the night mode may not be valid.
