Using Midnight and Loudness listening

The Midnight listening feature allows you to hear effective surround sound of movies at low volume levels. The effect automatically adjusts according to the volume at which you’re listening.

The Loudness listening feature can be used to get good bass and treble from music sources at low volume levels.

•Press MIDNIGHT/LOUDNESS. Each press cycles through the effects as follows:

MIDNIGHT

Off

LOUDNESS

1Press TONE to select the frequency you want to adjust.

Each press switches between BASS and

TREBLE.

2Use the MULTI JOG dial to change the amount of bass or treble as necessary. Wait about five seconds for your changes to be input automatically.

•You can only use the tone controls when STEREO/DIRECT is selected. DIRECT will switch to STEREO when the tone controls are used.

•The tone controls affect SPEAKER A only. They can’t be used when SPEAKER A is switched off.

•You can’t use MIDNIGHT/LOUDNESS when DVD 5.1 ch/DVD 7.1 ch has been selected, or when listening to a DTS 96kHz/24 bit source.

Using the tone controls

Depending on what you are listening to, you may want to adjust the bass or treble using the front panel tone control.
