Dynamic range compression
Some DAB broadcasts offer dynamic range compression (DRC). This feature allows
radios to compress the dynamic range of the output audio stream, so that the volume of
quiet sounds is increased, and the volume of loud sounds is reduced. This can be useful
if you are listening to music with a high dynamic range in a noisy environment (for
example, classical music while cooking).
To change the DRC of the unit, select Menu
> DRC
, and then
DRC high
,
DRC
low
or
DRC off
.
Note:
The unit DRC setting does have any effect if DRC data is not included in the
broadcast.
