Listening in MIDNIGHT Mode

This feature makes it possible to get excellent surround sound effects even when listening at low volumes. It can be used with a variety of surround sound sources and play soundtracks so that the quieter sounds are audible while the noisier sounds don’t become overly loud or distorted. It does this by bringing all the sounds in a given soundtrack closer together in volume. Compare this feature with the DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL (for Dolby Digital sources only) on p.41.
