Adaptive DRC (Adaptive dynamic range control)

Use this feature to adjust the dynamic range in conjunction with the volume level. This feature is useful when you are listening at lower volumes or at night. When “Adaptive DRC” is set to “Auto”, this unit controls the dynamic range as follows:

If the VOLUME setting is low: the dynamic range is narrow

If the VOLUME setting is high: the dynamic range is wide
