This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver/AV amplifier by using its [TONE], [–], and [+] buttons (see page 55).

Late Night Function

Late Night

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.

For Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources, the options are:

Off: Late Night function off (default).

Low: Small reduction in dynamic range.

High: Large reduction in dynamic range.

For Dolby TrueHD sources, the options are:

Auto: The Late Night function is set to “On” or “Off” automatically (default).

Off: Late Night function off.

On: Late Night function on.

Notes:

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.

On the TX-SA706, this procedure can also be per- formed on the AV amplifier by using its [LATE NIGHT] button.

Re-EQ Function

With the Re-EQ function, you can compensate a soundtrack whose high-frequency content is too harsh, making it more suitable for home theater viewing.

Re-EQ

This function can be used with the following listening modes:

Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie

DTS, DTS-ES, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, DTS 96/24
