Audio Settings and Video Adjust menus
Audio Settings menu
The Audio Settings menu offers features for adjusting the way
discs sound.
1 Press HOME MENU and select ‘Audio Settings’ from the on-
screen display.
2 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 (page 32) is set to On, and Dolby Digital Out
(page 32) is set to
Dolby Digital > PCM.
• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on your speakers and AV
receiver settings.
Virtual Surround
• Settings: On, Off (default)
Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic surround sound effects
from just two speakers.
Tip
• You can also use the SURROUND button on the remote control
to switch Virtual Surround on.
Note
• 96 kHz linear PCM audio is automatically downsampled to
48 kHz if Virtual Surround is switched on.
• The Audio Output Mode (page 36) must be set to 2 Channel
in order to be able to use Virtual Surround.
• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital, DTS 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 32 for how to set up the digital
output formats.
• How good the surround effect is varies with the disc.
Dialog
• Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off (default)
The Dialog feature is designed to make the dialog stand out from
other background sounds in the soundtracks.
Video Adjust menu
From the Video Adjust screen you can adjust various settings that
affect how the picture is presented.
1 Press HOME MENU and select ‘Video Adjust’ from the on-
screen display.
2 Make settings using the /// (cursor) buttons, and
ENTER.
You can adjust the following picture quality settings:
• PureCinema – When watching DVDs, PureCinema optimizes
the picture quality. The default setting is
Auto, but if the picture
appears unnatural, then set to Video1 or Video2, as
appropriate.
• Sharpness – Adjusts the sharpness of edges in the picture
(
Fine, Standard (default), Soft).
• Brightness – Adjusts the overall brightness (–20 to +20).
• Contrast – Adjusts the contrast between light and dark (–16 to
+16).
• Gamma – Adjusts the ‘gradation’ of the picture (–3 to +3).
• Hue – Adjusts the red/green balance (green 9 to red 9).
• Chroma Level – Adjusts how saturated colors appear (–9 to +9).
• BNR – Switches on/off block noise reduction (On, Off (default)).
Adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Hue and Chroma Level settings
using the / (cursor left/right) buttons.
3 Press ENTER to return to the Video Adjust screen, or HOME
MENU to exit.
