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 out-
put (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.
■
DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) On/Off
On: Select this option to turn on the Dynamic Range
Compression circuitry so that the dialogue
remains clear even at low volume levels.
Off: Select this option to turn off the Dynamic Range
Compression and have the soundtrack presented
exactly as it was created.
■
Vocal On/Off
Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is
being played. The karaoke channels on the disc will
then be mixed into a normal stereo sound.
• The DRC function works only during playback of
Dolby Digital recorded discs.
• The level of Dynamic Range Compression may differ
depending on the DVD disc.
• When playing karaoke, connect appropriate audio
equipment (such as an amplifier) to the DVD video
player.
