Sound Logic

EN

This function is designed for night-time listening to avoid disturbing your neighbours. The player then adjusts the differences in sound levels through dynamic compression. It then becomes easier to hear the soft sounds while the louder sounds are dampened.

• Select Sound then Sound Logic and switch the function to On.

Virtual Surround (SRS (1) - TruSurround)

This function provides you with virtual reproduction of the multichannel sound of a Dolby or DTS film onto the two channels of your TV or stereo amplifier. The sound effects of a 5.1 system are then simulated.

• Select Sound then Virtual Surround and switch the function to On.

Digital audio output

Depending on the amplifier or television (with or without integrated decoder) connected to your DVD player, you will need to set the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT sockets (coaxial or optical) so that they deliver the Dolby Digital (2) or DTS (3) digital signals supported by the other device (4).

• Select Digital Output, and then check that either Dolby Digital or DTS is ticked.
