Applying DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)
Your DAP-601ES features Dynamic Range Compression (DRC), this helps to equalise the volume range, for example, in a
movie soundtrack which has dialogue and explosions happening at the same time, DRC will equalise the range by boosting
the dialogue and reducing the explosions so the dialogue can be heard more easily.
Push the
DRC
button to display the current mode. Push it again and repeat to switch the between the following three modes:
NO
No compression is applied to the original audio signal, this provides the greatest dynamic range.
HALF
Partial compression is applied.
FULL
Full compression is applied.
Switching channels on and off
You can switch channels on and off using the three channel buttons. If a particular channel is active, the appropriate LED on
the front panel will light up.
Pressing
Centre
switches the centre channel on and off.
Pressing
SL
/
SR
switches the surround channels on and off.
Pressing
SUB
switches the subwoofer on and off.
