Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
DRC adds or removes a degree of compression to compensate for the
differences in the dynamic range between radio stations. For example, a
station broadcasting popular music may have a high level of compression
applied since the emphasis is on a constant high listening level. Where as a
station broadcasting classical music will have little or no compression as the
listener requires all of the highs and lows in the music to define the detail.
There are three levels of compression:
• DRC off = No compression applied
• DRC high = Maximum compression applied
• DRC low = Low compression applied
The best way to determine which of these settings suits you best is to
experiment with them on a variety of source material.
Press the MENU button to access the menu.
Press the SKIP UP/DOWN buttons until “DRC” is displayed.
Press the SELECT button to select.
Press the SKIP UP/DOWN button to select between the three DRC values.
The available options appear on line 2 of the display. When the required DRC
value is displayed, press the SELECT button to confirm.
You should be able to hear the difference in compression immediately.
