Activating Dynamic Range Compression

You can enjoy a powerful sound even at a low volume level by
compressing the dynamic range (difference between the maximum
and minimum sounds).
• This function takes effect only when Dolby Digital or DTS Digital
Surround is activated.
From the remote control ONLY:
Press D.R.C.
• Each time you press the button, the dynamic range
compression mode alternates between on and off.
Select "D.R.C. ON" while watching the DVD at night.
(You can obtain a powerful sound at a low volume.)
