options are:

`Off:

Late Night function off.

•The effect of the Late Night function depends on the material that you are playing and the intention of the original sound designer, and with some material there will be little or no effect when you select the different options.

•The Late Night function can be used only when the input source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby TrueHD.

•The Late Night function is set to “Off” when the AV receiver is set to Standby. For Dolby TrueHD sources, it will be set to “Auto”.
