This feature is available for Dolby Digital only. It compresses the inherently dynamic digital sound so that the quiet and loud passages are not quite as different in sound levels as they ordinarily are. This feature allows the user to watch movies and listen to dialogue at toned- down levels so as not to disturb others by the loud sound effects that may be present. The Late Night indicator (26) illuminates when this feature is active.
