Audio DRC

• Settings: Low, Medium, High,
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
1 For the EV700/1000 model, see Dynamic Range Control in System Setup menu options on page 24 (this method of adjustment
is also available for the EV500 model, but an extra setting of LOW also appears).
2 • Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.
• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on your speakers and settings.
3 • 96kHz Linear PCM audio is automatically downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround is switched on.
• How good the surround effect is varies with the disc.
