This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

This parameter is enabled for listening modes other than the THX, T-D, Direct, PL II Music, or Neo:6 Music listening mode.

b) Upsampling

Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the digital signal converted from an analog input source, and converts its digital sampling frequency to twice its current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.” When “On” is selected, the UPSAMPLING indicator lights.

c) Subwoofer

When “Yes” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, set this to “Off” if you do not want to have sound output from the subwoofer. This setting is only effective when the input source is Analog/PCM. If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.

d) Late Night

Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range; therefore, to hear the quieter sounds such as human conversations, they must be played back at larger volumes. When this parameter is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.

This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.”

When this parameter is set to High or Low, the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volume.

Off: Turns off the Late Night function.

Low: Lowers the dynamic range.

High: Narrows down the dynamic range.

Notes:

The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital encoded software.

The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digital software. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.
