Late Night function

Since the audio in movies produced for theaters has a big difference between the highest and lowest levels (dynamic range), it is sometimes necessary to increase the volume to a very high level when you want to listen to low-level audio such as environmental sounds and low human voices. In such a case, switch the Late Night function to ON to reduce the dynamic range so that even low-level audio can be identifiable without increasing the overall listening volume.

This function is especially convenient when you have to view a movie at a low volume in the night time, etc.

During Dolby Digital surround playback, press the DSP button.

Each press of the button switches the Late Night function ON and OFF alternately.

Notes:

The Late Night function is available only in Dolby Digital Surround mode.

The degree of the Late Night effect is already programmed into the source materials. Some materials may produce only small or no effects.

You can adjust the level of each speaker.

2.Press the LEVEL 5/buttons on the remote controller to raise or lower the level.

The speaker levels set here are cleared when this unit is set to STANDBY. (The speaker levels return to the levels set using the test tone.)
