Adjusting the Dynamic Range of the Audio Soundtrack - DVD Audio DRC stands for Audio Dynamic Range Compression. When Audio DRC is on, soft sounds such as dialog can be heard more clearly without making loud sounds even louder. When Audio DRC is set to [Off], there is no effect on the audio source. Make changes to the [Audio DRC] setting in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu.
