Equalizer

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

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.

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 45 for how to set up the digital out- put formats.

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

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 qui- eter 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 out- put when “Digital Out” is set to “On”, and “Dolby Digital Out” is set to “Dolby Digital > PCM” (see “Digital Audio Out settings” on page 45).

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

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.
