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 32).
• 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.
Note
• Virtual Surround doesn't work with DTS,
through either the analog or digital
outputs.
• 96kHz Linear PCM audio is automatically
downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround
is switched on.
• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital,
DTS or MPEG bitstream audio (in other
words, no conversion to PCM), Virtual
Surround has no effect on the audio from
the digital output. See Digital Audio Out
settings on page 32 for how to set up the
digital output formats.
• How good the surround effect is varies with
the disc.
