Virtual Surround

• Settings: On, Off (default)

Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic surround sound effects from just two speakers.

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 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.

Tip

•You can also use the SURROUND button on the remote control to switch Virtual Surround on.

Note

•96 kHz linear PCM audio is automatically downsampled to 48 kHz if Virtual Surround is switched on.

•The Audio Output Mode (see page 45) must be set to 2 Channel in order to be able to use Virtual Surround.

•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 39 for how to set up the digital output formats.
