following is from the manual of my onki dvd changer: and I use 2-ch stereo out put for audio (my only choice right now)

first of all:
does this even apply if i'm using 2-ch ANALOG audio out?

Dynamic Range Control (Dolby Digital
only)
With the Dynamic Range Control function you can
reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so
that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at
low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at
night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.
Off (default): The full dynamic range is preserved.
On: The dynamic range of Dolby Digital material is
compressed.
Notes:
• The impact of the Dynamic Range Control function
depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are
playing and with some material there will be little or
no effect.

so, if this does apply to me when using analog outs, according to the 2nd part in bold text, if i need to hear dialogs/quieter passages best, I need to set the DRC to "OFF"? is that right?

or is it "ON" because it says REDUCING the dynamic range helps to hear quieter passages (see 1st bold part)?
I'm confused! :confused:

Thanks a lot.

bump ! anybody?
