About DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)

With the DVD format you have the opportunity to listen to program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to the use of digital audio technology. However, in certain instances you may wish to slightly compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones) so that you may listen to a movie at a lower volume and still retain dialogue intelligibility.

Vocal On/Off

Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is being played. The karaoke channels on the disc will then be mixed into a normal stereo sound.

PBC On/Off

Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off

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

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

Notes

The DRC function works only during playback of Dolby Digital recorded discs.

The level of Dynamic Range Compression may vary depending on the DVD disc.

When playing karaoke, connect appropriate audio equipment (such as an amplifier) to the DVD video player.
