With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s  
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic  
presentation possible, thanks to digital audio  
technology. However, you may wish to compress the  
dynamic range of the audio output (the difference  
between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones).  
This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower volume  
without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this  
effect.  
Display Mode setting works only when the TV Aspect  
mode is set to “4:3”.  
Letterbox: Displays a wide picture with bands on the  
upper and lower portions of the screen.  
Panscan: Automatically displays the wide picture on the  
entire screen and cuts off the portions that do not fit.
