Audio DRC

• Default setting: Off
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.
1 Press HOME MENU and select `Audio
Settings' from the on-screen display.

Virtual Surround
