7 Night mode section

a) button to activate Night mode

Night mode will reduce the dynamics of the audio signal.This will result in both the loudest and the most silent audio signals becoming clearly audible, even at lower volume levels.

The audio signals on a DVD movie disc have large dynamics, i.e. the difference in loudness between the loudest and most silent signal can be very large. In order to hear both the loudest and most silent signal you normally would have to turn up to volume of the headphone.

In case however you would prefer to listen at lower volume levels, it could result in the most silent signals becoming difficult to hear: by

making use of the night mode this can be resolved.
