because low bass sounds are not highly directional.
But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of
the room to reduce the wall reflections.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

System Setting
When a title encoded in Dolby Digital or Dolby
Digital Plus is playing back, you may wish to
compress the dynamic range of the audio output
(the difference 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 effect.
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 effectively ‘waits’ for the picture to arrive: this
is called HD AV Sync. Use W/S (on the remote
control) to scroll up and down through the delay
amount, which you can set at anything between 0
ms and 300 ms.
