DSP (Digital Sound Processor)

These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real environment such as Arena, Jazz Club, Theater, Stadium and Disco. DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound with- out degrading the sound quality. Different modes will give you different feels of size and types of listening environ- ment. (Not available in Dolby Digital and DTS)

Night Mode

By using Dynamic Range Compression technology, you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital sound quality at night with- out interrupting your roommates or neighbors. Night Mode will compress the volume difference between normal voices and sounds such as explosions, while still enjoying a Dolby Digital DVD experience. Night Mode can be activated by pressing the NIGHT button on the remote, DRC SOFT (Default) will appear on the display. While DRC SOFT

(Default) is still on the display, press the LEFT or RIGHT adjustment buttons,around the OK button, until you select the desired mode. There are three modes (OFF, SOFT, SOFT- ER) for you to choose the extents of compression.
