07Audio 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 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.

Note

•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 36).

•The effect of Audio DRC also 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 soundtracks.
