Midnight mode (Dolby Digital mode only)

When watching movies at night , you might not be able to raise the volume as

loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic range of previously

specified heavy sound passage of the Dolby Digital sound track (like scenes with

sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the

scenes with heavy sound passage and scenes with normal sound passage. This

makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes.
