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.2

� Sharpness � Adjusts the sharpness of edges in the picture (Fine, Standard, Soft) � Brightness � Adjusts the overall brightness (�20 to +20). � Contrast � Adjusts the contrast between light and dark (�16 to +16). � Gamma � Adjusts the �warmth� of the picture (High, Medium, Low, Off). � Hue � Adjusts the red/green balance (Green 9 to Red 9).

Note
