DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL (DRC)
DRC adds or removes a degree of compensation for the differences in the
dynamic range between radio stations. For example, a station broadcasting pop-
ular music may have a high level of compensation applied since the emphasis is
on a constant high listening level, whereas a station broadcasting classical
music will have little or no compensation as the listener requires all of the highs
and lows in the music to define the detail.
There are three levels of compensation:
DRC 0
: No compensation applied.
DRC 1
: Maximum compensation applied (This is the default.).
DRC1/2
: Medium compensation applied.

Helpful hints:
