Audio DRC

Default setting is 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 material 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.

Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output when Digital Out (see page 19) is set to On, and Dolby Digital Out (see page 20) is set to Dolby Digital > PCM.

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

Virtual Surround

Default setting is Off.

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

When you play a Dolby Digital soundtrack, TruSurround technology from SRS produces a deep, realistic 3D soundspace from a pair of stereo speakers. SRS TruSurround is a process approved by Dolby Laboratories for Virtual Dolby Digital sound.

2Highlight Audio DRC, then use the /(cursor left/right) buttons to change to “On” or “Off,” as required.
