Audio DRC
• Settings:
Low
,
Medium
,
High
,
Off
(default)
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.

Virtual Surround
• Settings:
On
,
Off
(default)
Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic
surround sound effects from just two
speakers.
