13. THE AUDIO SETTINGS MENU

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 SETUP and select 'Audio Settings' from the on-screen display.
2 - Highlight Audio DRC, then use the cursor left/right to change to 'On' or 'Off', as required.
3 - Press ENTER to make the setting and exit the Audio Settings screen.
Notes: Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.
- Audio DRC is only effective through digital output when Digital Out is set On, and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital >
PCM.
- The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers and AV receiver settings.
Virtual Surround
• Default setting: Off
Switch on Virtual surround to enjoy surround sound effects from just two speakers.
When you play a Dolby Digital soundtrack, Virtual Dolby Digital, which uses
TruSurround technology from SRS, produces a 3D Soundspace from a pair of stereo speakers.
1 - Press HOME MENU and select 'Audio Settings' from the on-screen display.
2 - Highlight Virtual Surround, then use the cursor left/right to change to 'V/TruSurround' or 'Off', as required.
3 - Press ENTER to make the setting and exit the Audio Settings screen.
