DVD Setup Menu
Audio DRC
• Default setting: Off
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it’s easy to lose the low level sounds completely, including some of the dialog. Switching on Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) can help things by bringing up the low level sounds, while keeping the lid on high level peaks.
The Off setting leaves the original dynamics intact; On ‘squashes’ the dynamics; but exactly how much difference you can hear between the settings will depend on the material you’re watching.
•When TruSurround is On, the audio can be output only for the L/R channels on the Front.
SRS TruSurround
SRS TruSurround uses technology that simulates multichannel surround sound using only two speakers.
Remember
•Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.
•The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers and AV amplifier settings.
TruSurround
• Default setting: Off
If you connected your DVD player using only the stereo analog outputs and set Audio Out to 2 Channel (page 39), you can simulate surround sound by setting TruSurround to On.
Note
•Works with DVD-Video and VCD only.
•The digital audio output is processed by TruSurround when playing 2 channel Dolby Digital DVDs or Video CDs with TruSurround On. It is recommended that TruSurround be turned Off when connecting the player to your amp using a coaxial or optical connection.
•How good the surround effect is varies with the disc.
