feature that restores the sound of the original music from digitally compressed formats such as MP3. This receiver offers an upgraded version that processes multi-channel signals with a DSP algorithm, so all channels (rather than just two) are enhanced. This provides more accurate reproduction and a more expansive sound. Adaptive DRC Adaptive DRC (Dynamic Range Control) is a new volume control technology that is effective for low-volume listening, such as at night or with headphones. It applies DRC processing to eliminate the volume differences between loud commercials and ordinary programming and to take into account our ears loss of sensitivity as volume decreases.

Effect of Adaptive DRC

DRC OFF Adaptive DRC Small sounds like whispers. Sounds cannot be heard. Low Low Input Level High

Volume at Normal Level

Large sounds can be output, so large sounds are output as large sounds. High Output Level

Volume at Lower Level

The volume is slightly lowered, so the maximum output is smaller. High Output Level
Volume at Considerably Lower Level
When the volume has to be lowered more, the maximum output becomes much smaller. High
