Looked up DRC

It stands for "Dynamic Range Control", so you were close. The manual (which homeless shelter are they trolling to find the people who write these things?) says the following:

"Makes the sound clear when the volume is turned down when playing a DVD that conforms to 'AUDIO DRC'. This function affects output from the line out, digital out, and HDMI output jacks, but only affects output from the HDMI jack when DOLBY DIGITAL is set to D-PCM (see page 66).

STANDARD: Normally select this position.
TV MODE: Makes low sound clear even if you turn the volume down.
WIDE RANGE: Gives the feeling of a live performance."

(Pg 65.)

...Okay, so never mind the eighteen ways this language is either muddled, incomplete, or references jargon that isn't defined -- never mind that -- the real concern I have is that it sounds like a sonically non-neutral band-aid for what, in my case, is an actual setup problem.
