SOUND

LISTEN MODE

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, then press the 5/keys or MULTI @/# keys until “MIDNIGHT” appears on the display.

This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD/6CH, VIDEO 2 or VIDEO 3 is selected as the source and the input signal is set to “Dolby Digital” or “DTS”.

2Use the MULTI CONTROL knob or MULTI %/keys to select the

ON or OFF setting.
