About DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)
With the DVD format you have the opportunity to hear a
program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic
presentation possible, thanks to the use of digital audio
technology. However, in certain instances you may wish to
slightly compress the dynamic range of the audio output
(the difference between the loudest sounds and the
quietest ones) so that you may listen to a movie at a lower
volume without losing dialogue intelligibility.
