07Audio Adjust

From the Audio Adjust menu you can set the Audio DRC (Dynamic Range control).

Audio DRC

• Default setting: Off

When watching Dolby Digital BD and DVD discs, as well as PC files with Dolby Digital audio, at low volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds completely — including some of the dialog. Switching Audio DRC to On can help by bringing up the quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.

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

Important

Audio DRC is effective with the following types of audio:

Analog audio from the AUDIO OUT (2ch) and AUDIO OUT (5.1ch) jacks.

PCM audio from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL/ OPTICAL) and HDMI OUT jacks (see also About the audio output settings on page 42).
