Audio DRC

• Default setting: Off
When watching Dolby Digital material at low volume, it's
easy to lose low level sounds completely—including
some of the dialog. Switching on Audio DRC (Dynamic
Range Control) can help by bringing up the low level
sounds, while controlling high level peaks.
1 During playback or when paused, press HOME
MENU and select 'Video/Audio Adjust'.
2 Select 'Audio Adjust'.
3 Use the
DRC from 'Off' to 'Max'.

Exactly how much difference you can hear between the
settings will depend on the material.
Remember
• Audio DRC is not effective when listening to a disc via
the digital output when Dolby Digital Out is set to
Dolby Digital. In this case adjust the dynamic range
from your AV amplifier/receiver.
