Enjoying the sound at low volume

You can enjoy sound effects or dialogue, as you would in a movie theater, even at low volume. It is useful for watching movies at night.

Press NIGHT.

“NIGHT ON” appears in the front panel display and the sound effect is activated.

Note

•This effect does not work for a Super Audio CD. When you load a Super Audio CD during “NIGHT ON,” the sound effect turns off automatically.

•When sound is output from the center speaker, this effect is more pronounced, as speech (movie dialog, etc.) is easy to hear. When sound is not output from the center speaker, or you are using the headphones, the system optimally adjusts the volume.

Press NIGHT again.
