The procedure for playing a DSS receiver is just like any other audio/video source except that if your DSS receiver has a digital audio output, you must press the DSS DIGITAL button on the remote (P).

If your DSS receiver only has analog audio outputs, press the DSS button on the remote (Q).

Late Night Listening

Digital sources like DVD and Laserdiscs offer the advantage of greater dynamic range than analog sources. That means that the contrast is greater between the softest sounds and the loudest sounds on the recording. Wide dynamic range is a great benefit—except when you are watching a movie and other people in the house are trying to sleep. In such circumstances, just push the LATE NIGHT button (R) on the remote and the dynamic range will be reduced so that you can turn up the volume loud enough to hear the dialog without having the peak sounds get too loud. Once again, domestic harmony is restored thanks to Polk.
