Audio DRC
• Default setting: Off
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume,
it’s easy to lose the low level sounds completely,
including some of the dialog. Switching on Audio
DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) can help
things by bringing up the low level sounds, while
keeping the lid on high level peaks.
The Off setting leaves the original dynamics intact;
On ‘squashes’ the dynamics; but exactly how much
difference you can hear between the settings will
depend on the material you’re watching.
Remember
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital
audio sources.
• The effect of Audio DRC depends on your
speakers and AV amplifier settings.
• This setting cannot be chosen when i.LINK is
connected or when HDMI is connected while
either Auto or Multi PCM selected for the
HDMI audio setting. (pages 54, 55)

• The digital audio output is processed by
TruSurround when playing 2 channel Dolby
Digital DVDs or Video CDs with TruSurround
On. It is recommended that TruSurround be
turned Off when connecting the player to your
amp using a coaxial or optical connection.
•How good the surround effect is varies with the
disc.
•When TruSurround is On, the audio can be
output only for the L/R jacks on the Front.
• This setting cannot be chosen when i.LINK is
connected or when HDMI is connected while
