Exactly how much difference you can hear between the settings will depend on the material.

•Audio DRC is not effective when listening to a disc via the digital output when Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital. In this case adjust the dynamic range from your AV amplifier/receiver.

Virtual Surround

• Default setting: Off

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

When playing any Dolby Digital encoded material, SRS TruSurround produces a deep, cinema-like sound space from any pair of speakers.
