Off Pluge Off DNR Off Dynamic Range Control (DRC) With the DVD format, you can hear a program's soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect. Vocal Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing.

Notes - Actual picture enhancement may vary depending on the quality of the disc. - While the DNR2 (expanded level) can provide additional improvement in the reduction of noise in the video signal, it may produce undesirable picture artifacts on some discs. Should this occur, select a more appropriate DNR level (normal or off). - Depending on the disc, some picture detail may be lost by the picture enhancement. - A DVD audio disc with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack may be played, some DVD audio discs include moving pictures which may be modified by the above processes. 1-22
