Enjoying the Sound Effects

Using the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT Function

The LATE NIGHT function operates when the sound is DOLBY DIGITAL Surround.

If you play a movie at low volume at night, set this function to “Low” or “High” to narrow the dynamic range of the sound and make it easier to hear.

The FRONT EFFECT function operates with DSP modes other than All Ch St.

If you use one of the DSP sound effects with a source containing acoustic reverberation, the sound may become unclear because of too much reverberation. In such case, set this function to “Off.” The DSP sound effect will not add additional reverberation to the sound output to the three front speakers.

Boosting the Super Bass Sounds/High Frequency Sounds

You can enjoy more dynamic sounds by boosting the super bass/high frequency sounds, even with decreased volume.
