Using the Late Night Function (Dolby Digital only)

With the Late Night function, you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.

Using the Re-EQ

With the Re-EQ, you can soften overly bright movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for reproduction in a movie theater.

Re-EQ can be used with the following listening modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, PLII/IIx Movie, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24, Dolby/DTS+PLIIx Movie, Dolby/DTS+Neo:6, DTS+Dolby EX, THX Surround EX, THX Cinema2 and THX Cinema.
