Dialog

 

Dialog

• Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off (default)

The Dialog feature is designed to make the dialog stand out from other background sounds in the soundtrack.

Audio DRC

• Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off (default)

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

How much of a difference you hear depends on the mate- rial you’re listening to. If the material doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you may not notice much change.

Notes:

•Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

•Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output when Digital Out is set to On, and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital > PCM (see “Digital Audio Out settings” on page 43).

•The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers and AV receiver settings.

Virtual Surround

• Settings: On, Off (default)

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

Notes:

•Virtual Surround doesn’t work with DTS, through either the analog or digital outputs.

•96kHz linear PCM audio is automatically downsam- pled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround is switched on.

•If the player is outputting Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG bitstream audio (in other words, no conversion to PCM), Virtual Surround has no effect on the audio from the digital output. See Digital Audio Out settings on page 43 for how to set up the digital output formats.

•How good the surround effect is varies with the disc.

Equalizer

•Settings: Rock, Pop, Live, Dance, Techno, Classic, Soft, Off (default)

The various preset EQ curves are designed to suit vari- ous styles of music.

Note:

•96kHz linear PCM audio is automatically downsam- pled to 48kHz if the Equalizer is switched on.
