information. Therefore some functions in this section may not
work or have no effect on some DVDs.
Adjusting the Dynamic Range
of the Audio Soundtrack
Audio DRC stands for Audio Dynamic Range
Compression. When Audio DRC is on, soft sounds such
as dialog can be heard more clearly without making loud
sounds even louder. Select from three levels of
compression depending on how much effect you want.
When Audio DRC is set to "Off", there is no effect on
the audio source.
Make changes to the [Audio DRC] setting in the Setup
screen Audio 2 menu.
