late night

You may set a maximum volume allowed for your system to minimize the oppor- tunity for damage, either to your system or to better relations with your neigh- bors. Simply choose the maximum volume setting you would like to be able to use and save the change (by pressing enter, as always). If you decide to change it again, simply revisit this menu item and reset it.

Modern movie soundtracks, especially those of action movies, often have enor- mous dynamic range. There are times when this extraordinary dynamic range is a problem rather than a benefit—for example, when listening late at night while others in the home are sleeping, or in an apartment building when neighbors are at home and prefer not to be disturbed.

Simply turning the volume down may not be an adequate solution in these cases, as it may make dialog so quiet as to be unintelligible, and obscure important but subtle cues in the soundtrack. The solution to this problem makes use of some specific information provided by Dolby Digital (AC-3) soundtracks to provide ap- propriate compression to reduce the dynamic range to something better suited to the environment. Since this feature depends on information only available within AC-3 soundtracks, it is only available when the AVP2 is decoding AC-3.

The late night feature may be toggled on and off on by using the special button on the remote control (see Using the Special Menu); this item on the volume preference menus determines how much compression is used. Your choices are either low or high levels of compression, which may be selected according to what works best in your particular situation.
