Dynamic Range Control

When watching Dolby Digital or DTS material at low
volume, low level sounds — including some of the dialog
— can be difficult to hear properly. Using one of the
Dynamic Range Control (DRC) settings can help by
bringing up the low level sounds, while controlling high
level peaks.
Dynamic Range Control works only with Dolby Digital
soundtracks and some DTS soundtracks.
