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. 1
Virtual Surround
CX303 only
• Settings: On, Off (default)
Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic
surround sound effects from just three
speakers.
