HD AV Sync
Sometimes Digital TV encounters a delay 
between picture and sound. If this happens 
you can compensate by setting a delay on the 
sound so that it eff ectively ‘waits’ for the picture 
to arrive: this is called HD AV Sync. Use 
U u to 
scroll up and down through the delay amount, 
which you can set at anything between 0 and 
300m sec. 
The delay will vary depending on which digital 
TV channel you are on. If you change channel 
you may need to readjust the HD AV Sync.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control) 
When a content encoded in Dolby Digital or 
Dolby Digital Plus is playing back, you may 
wish to compress the dynamic range of the 
audio output (the diff erence between the 
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This 
allows you to listen to a movie at a lower 
volume without losing clarity of sound. Set 
[DRC] to [On] for this eff ect.
NOTE
The DRC setting can be changed only when a 
disc is not inserted or the unit is in complete stop 
mode.
