Audio DRC

• Default setting: Off

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 material you’re listening to. If the mate- rial doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you may not notice much change.

1Press HOME MENU and select ‘Audio Settings’ from the on-screen display.

3Press ENTER to make the setting and exit the Audio Settings screen.

Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output when Digital Out (see page 46) is set to On, and Dolby Digital Out (see page 46) is set to Dolby Digital > PCM.

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