Audio Settings menu 07 Chapter 7 Audio Settings menu Audio DRC • Default setting is Off. When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it's easy to lose the quieter sounds completely-including some of the dialog. Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) to On can help by bringing up the quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks. How much of a difference you hear depends on the material you're listening to. If the material doesn't have wide variations in volume, you may not notice much change. 1 Press HOME MENU and select "Audio Settings" from the on-screen display.
