Using Midnight and Loudness

The Midnight listening feature allows you to hear effec- tive 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 RECEIVER then press MIDNIGHT/LOUDNESS to switch between MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, and OFF.

Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the WMA/MP3/ MPEG-4 AAC compression process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to compressed 2- channel audio by restoring sound pressure and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.

•Press RECEIVER then press S. RETRIEVER (SOUND RETRIEVER) to switch the sound retriever on or off.

Enhancing dialog

• Default setting: OFF

The Dialog Enhancement feature localizes dialog in the center channel to make it stand out from other background sounds in a TV or movie soundtrack.

•Press RECEIVER then press DIALOG E to switch dialog enhancement on or off.

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
