Audio Settings and Video Adjust menus

Audio Settings menu

The Audio Settings menu offers features for adjusting the way discs sound.

Press HOME MENU and select 'Audio

Settings' from the on-screen display.

Select and change settings using the

(cursor) buttons, and ENTER.

Audio DRC

• Settings: High, Medium, Low, 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.

Note

• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

• Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output when Digital Out is set to On, and Dolby

Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital > PCM (see Digital Audio Out settings on page 18).

• The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers and AV receiver settings.

Virtual Surround

• Settings: On, Off (default)

Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy surround sound effects from just two speakers.

Virtual surround can produce realistic 3D sound from a pair of stereo speakers using any source.

Tip

• You can also use the SURROUND button on the remote control to switch Virtual Surround on.

Note

• DV-2750/DV-370 only: Virtual Surround doesn't work with WMA or DTS, through either the analog

or digital outputs.

• 96kHz linear PCM audio is automatically downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround is switched

on.

• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital or MPEG bitstream audio (in other words, no conversion

to PCM), Virtual Surround has no effect on the audio from the digital output. See Digital Audio

Out settings on page 18 for how to set up the digital output formats.
