Using Night Mode

You can use Night Mode to compress large dynamic ranges, resulting in “quieter” explosions and other loud sounds in movies. The Night Mode feature adjusts the dynamic range so that there is less disparity in the noise level of all sounds in a movie (explosions, music, dialogue, and so on).

4While in Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Stereo mode, press NIGHT MODE to turn Night Mode on. The receiver displays D?=>J. Press NIGHT MODE again to turn it off.

Note: Night Mode is not available for movies using DTS mode, or when the audio is set to PCM mode.

Recording Audio from the Receiver to Digital Audio Equipment

Some DVDs might be encoded with an anti-copy digital signal. If this is the case, you must disconnect your MD recorder (or

other digital equipment) from thejack on the receiver’s back. Use audio/video cables to connect the equipment to TAPE OUT.

Note: To ensure proper recording quality when you make a copy of a DVD/CD via TAPE output, set the front speaker size to <#B7H=;ý(see “Changing the Speaker Size” on Page 13). Set the surround mode to IJ;H;E.
