AUDIO CONNECTIONS: These settings change the Audio Dynamic Range Control, which
adjust the difference between loud and quiet sounds. If you are connected directly to

audio mode and adjust accordingly.

cable. "Dolby Digital" will not perform any conversion and will provide Dolby Digital 5.1
sound on indicated programs when connected to a compatible home theatre system.

If you are connected via HDMI directly to your TV, you may have to
select "PCM" in order to get sound.
