What is dolby digital dynamic range control?

Sorry, but ';D (A/V) ID'; is incorrect. Dynamic range control , in a nutshell, makes the loud sounds quieter, and the quiet sounds louder, so you can keep the volume at one setting without struggling to hear-or getting blown away by the loud stuff. It really has little to do with the bass.


Think of it as flattening out a roller coaster- no more crazy highs, or mellow lows- it's all the same level with the dynamic limiter.This is especially useful in an apartment setting.What is dolby digital dynamic range control?
It compresses the bottom end (low frequency) sound and variations in volume. That makes it so when you watch it at night there isn't as much bass and so there isn't as much of a change between very quiet scenes and loud ones. It's like night mode on many receivers. It can also be of benefit when using your TV's speakers if they are not very powerful and you have trouble hearing some aspects of the movie. In most cases though you want it turned off to get the ';Full'; dynamic range of the movie.What is dolby digital dynamic range control?
It's the type and amount of compression on a dolby digital sountrack.


If you have an A/V receiver you can control whether the DRC is turned on or off.


There's probably a wikipedia article on it. Google it to get the wiki article if you need more detail.
