sound or dialogue seem difficult to hear
properly, this can help by bringing up the low
level sounds, while controlling high level
peaks.
• DRC OFF (default) – No dynamic range
adjustment (use when listening at higher
volumes)
• DRC MID – Mid setting
• DRC HIGH – Dynamic range is reduced
(loud sounds are reduced in volume while
quieter sounds are increased)
Note

and Dimming the display on page 38.

• The Channel level setting is not available when headphones are connected.
• The speaker volume can be adjusted at any time by pressing SHIFT+TEST TONE and then using / to adjust the channel
levels. The test tone automatically moves from speaker to speaker in the order listed above. You should hear the test tone at the
same volume from each speaker when seated in the main listening position. Press ENTER when you’re finished.
• Since the subwoofer produces ultra-low frequencies it may seem quieter than it actually is.
