Audio Settings and Video Adjust menus

The Audio Settings menu offers features for adjusting
the way discs sound.
• 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.
From the Video Adjust screen you can adjust various set-
tings that affect how the picture is presented.
Note:
• Depending on your TV, the picture may appear dis-
torted if the brightness is set too high. If this happens,
lower the brightness.
