`Off

`On

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”.

Music Optimizer

■Music Optimizer

`Off

`On

The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound quality of compressed music files. When set to “On”, the M.Opt indicator lights on the AV receiver’s display, and the MUSIC OPTIMIZER indicator (North American and Taiwanese models) lights on the front panel.

Tip

•(North American and Taiwanese models) Alternatively, you can use MUSIC OPTIMIZER on the AV receiver.

Note

•The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48 kHz and analog audio input signals.

When NET or USB input selector is selected, this function even works with digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48 kHz (except DSD signals and Dolby TrueHD signals) regardless of the PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48 kHz.

•The Music Optimizer is disabled when the Direct or Pure Audio (European, Australian and Asian models) listening mode is selected.

•The setting is stored individually for each input selector.
