you
can hear a
program's
sound-
track in the most accurate and realistic
presentation
possible,
thanks to
digital
audio
technology.

you may
wish to
compress
the
dynamic range
of the

output (the
difference between the loudest sounds
and the
quietest ones).
This allows
you
to listen to a
movie at a lower volume without
losing clarity
of sound.
Set DRC to On for this effect.

Set Vocal to On
only
when a multi-channel Karaoke
DVD is
