DRC
DRC stands for Dynamic Range Control. The dynamic range
for each radio programme is set by the broadcaster for each
radio station and may be dierent for the types of programme
broadcast, such as pop or classical music or a chat show.
The dynamic range control signal is transmitted in parallel
with the audio signal for each programme, And with your
radio, you can use this control signal to expand or compress
the dynamic range (the dierence between the loudest and
quietest sounds) of the reproduced audio signal. Changing
the dynamic range can aect the ‘loudness’ and/or ‘quality of
sound’ of the programme that you hear so that it will be more
suited to your listening conditions and your own personal
listening requirements. E.g. In a noisy environment, where
quiet sounds might be swamped, setting the compression
to maximum will ‘boost’ the quiet sounds, whilst keeping the
loudest sounds at their original level.
There are 3 levels of compression:
DRC O - no compression, this is the default setting.
DRC High - maximum compression.
DRC Low - medium compression.
1. To adjust DRC, in DAB mode, press and hold the INFO/
MENU button (7) to enter into the Menu, repeatedly press
the SKIP- / SKIP+ button (6) followed by pressing the
PLAY/PAUSE/SELECT button (8) to select “DRC”.
