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 parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (like scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low volumes.

1Press the SOUND key repeatedly until “NIGHT” appears in the display.

This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD/6ch, VIDEO2 or VIDEO3 is selected as the source and the listen mode is set to “DOLBY DIGITAL”.

2Use the MULTI CONTROL knob or 5/keys to select the ON or

OFF setting.
