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.

 

 Note

 

• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby 

Digital audio sources. 

• Audio DRC is only effective through the 

digital output when 

 

Digital Out

 

 is set to 

 

On

 

, and 

 

Dolby Digital Out

 

 is set to 

 

Dolby 

Digital > PCM

 

 (see 

 

Digital Audio Out 

settings

 

 on page 34).

• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on 

your speakers and AV receiver settings.

 

Virtual Surround

 

• Settings: 

 

On

 

 

Off 

 

(default)

 

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

 

 Tip

 

• You can also use the
