The problem with simply turning down the volume if you want to watch at low
volume is that you can easily lose the low level sounds— including some of the
dialog. Switching on the Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) function can
help things by bringing up the low level sounds, while keeping the lid on the high
level peaks.
Note: How much difference you can hear between the settings will depend on the
material your watching.
Press SETUP and select AUDIO 2 > AUDIO
DRC, then the level you want:
Large: maximum compression
Medium: moderate compression
Small: minimal compression
Off: no compression — you'll hear the original dynamics
Note: The Audio DRC setting remains in effect until you set it to something else.
The Audio 1 section of the setup menu contains various options concerning digital
audio output. You only need to set any of these if you want to use an external
component (such as a digital recorder or AV amplifier with a digital input) connected
to the optical digital output on the rear panel of this system.
Audio 1 > Dolby Digital Out >
Dolby Digital – Select if you connect an external Dolby Digital decoder or
an AV amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital decoder.
Dolby Digital 3 PCM – Select if you connect an MD, DAT or CD
recorder—these components can generally only record Dolby Digital discs if
the audio is converted to PCM format. Select this option also if you connect
an AV amplifier without a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.
Audio 1 > DTS Out >
Off – Select if you connect an MD, DAT or CD recorder—these components
can generally only record PCM format audio. Select this option also if you
connect an AV amplifier without a built-in DTS decoder.
– Select if you connect an external DTS decoder or an AV amplifier with
DTS
built-in DTS decoder.
Audio 1 > 96kHz PCM Out >
96kHz 3 48kHz – Select if you connect an AV amplifier, or MD, DAT or
CD recorder that is not compatible with 96kHz audio (at present, most aren't,
but be sure to check your recorder's manual).
96kHz – Select if you connect an AV amplifier, or MD, DAT or CD recorder
that is compatible with 96kHz audio (at present, most aren't, but be sure to
check your recorder's manual).
