Virtual Surround

• Default setting: Off

Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy surround sound effects from just two speakers.

When playing any Dolby Digital encoded material, SRS TruSurround produces a deep, cinema-like sound space from any pair of speakers.

SRS TruSurround is licenced from SRS Labs and certified by Dolby Laboratories for Virtual Dolby technology.

Audio DRC

• Default setting: Off

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it’s easy to lose low level sounds completely—including some of the dialog. Switching on Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) can help by bringing up the low level sounds, while controlling high level peaks.

1During playback or when paused, press HOME MENU and select ‘Video/Audio Adjust’.

2Select ‘Audio Adjust’.

3Select ‘Audio DRC’.

Exactly how much difference you can hear between the settings will depend on the material.

Remember

Audio DRC is not effective when listening to a disc via the digital output when Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital. In this case adjust the dynamic range from your AV amplifier/receiver.

Note

Virtual Surround has no effect on 96 kHz Linear PCM audio, DTS audio and audio CDs.

You can hear the Virtual Surround effect through the analog outputs and the DV output. The Virtual Surround setting has no effect on the rear panel optical digital output.

There is no optical digital audio output when playing multi-channel Dolby Digital discs if the Dolby Digital

Out setting (page 93) is set to Dolby Digital PCM and Virtual Surround is set to TruSurround.
