Turn this setting on to reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.

Note

The effect of the Late Night function depends on the material that you are playing and the intention of the original sound designer, and with some material there will be little or no effect when you select the different options.

The Late Night function can be used only when the input source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby TrueHD.

The Late Night function is set to “Off” when the AV receiver is set to standby. For Dolby TrueHD sources, it will be set to “Auto”.

The setting is stored individually for each input selector.

The M.Opt indicator will light (page 8).
