Audio DRC

• Default setting: Off

When watching Dolby Digital material at low volume, it’s easy to lose low level sounds completely—including some of the dialog. Switching on Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) can help by bringing up the low level sounds, while controlling high level peaks.

1During playback or when paused, press HOME MENU and select ‘Video/Audio Adjust’.

2Select ‘Audio Adjust’.

3 Use the	(cursor left/right) buttons to adjust
DRC from ‘Off‘ to ‘Max’.

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

Remember

•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.
