Midnight mode (Dolby Digital and DTS 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
and DTS 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.
1Press the SOUND key repeatedly until “NIGHT” appears on the
display.
This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD/6CH (KRF-V5080D), DVD
(VR-806) or VIDEO2 is selected as the source and the listen mode
is set to “DOLBY DIGITAL” or “DTS”.
2Use the MULTI CONTROL knob or MULTI CONTROL %/ keys to
select the ON or OFF setting.
Some Dolby Digital or DTS software may not be compatible with the
Midnight mode.
