disc formats. Users already familiar with Video CD or CD

greater number of possibilities and functions are
available.
Note
DVDs differ in content and do not all contain the same
information. Therefore some functions in this section may
not work or have no effect on some DVDs.
Getting Surround Sound from
Stereo Speakers
Depending on the audio source, this player is capable of
switching between Virtual Dolby Digital (multichannel
audio sources) and TruSurround (stereo audio sources) to
produce a surround sound effect from stereo speakers.
This function works only when connections are
made to the AUDIO OUT (2 CH) jacks.

TruSurround and Virtual Dolby Digital
TruSurround uses technology that simulates
multichannel surround sound using only two speakers.
Virtual Dolby Digital works in conjunction with Dolby
Digital audio sources to create a realistic surround
sound. Virtual Dolby Digital is selected automatically
when Dolby Digital sources are loaded.
Adjusting the Dynamic Range
of the Audio Soundtrack
Audio DRC stands for Audio Dynamic Range
Compression. When Audio DRC is on, soft sounds such
as dialog can be heard more clearly without making loud
sounds even louder. Select from three levels of
compression depending on how much effect you want.
When Audio DRC is set to [Off], there is no effect on
the audio source.
Make changes to the [Audio DRC] setting in the Setup
screen Audio 2 menu.
