DRC

The level of compression of stations can be set to eliminate the differences
in dynamic range or sound level between radio stations. Popular music
would normally be more compressed than classical music, resulting in
possible different audio levels when changing from one station to the
other. Setting the DRC to "0" means no compression, "1/2" indicates medium
compression and "1" shows maximum compression. No compression is
recommended, especially for classical music.
1 While listening to a DAB broadcast, press [TUNER MODE] button and
[ A/S ] to select "DRC". Press [ENTER].
2 Toggle [ A/S ] to select through "DRC 0", "DRC 1/2" and "DRC 1".
