Enjoying the surround effect at low volume level
(NIGHT MODE)
This function allows you to retain a theater like environment at low volume levels. This function can be used with other sound fields.
When watching a movie late at night, you will be able to hear the dialog clearly even at a low volume level.
Press NIGHT MODE.
The “NIGHT MODE” indicator in the display lights up and the NIGHT MODE function is activated.
Tip
While this function is on, the BASS, TREBLE, and EFFECT level increase, and “D.RANGE COMP.” is automatically set to “MAX”.
Note
This function cannot be activated when the ANALOG DIRECT or MULTI CH DIRECT function is used.
(2CH MODE)
This function lets you specify the type of decoding for 2 channel audio sources.
This receiver can reproduce 2 channel sound in 5 channels through Dolby Pro Logic II;
6 channels through DTS Neo:6; or 4 channels through Dolby Pro Logic. However, MPEG 2CH sources are not decoded by DTS Neo:6; they are output in 2 channels.
Press NORMAL SURR (;PLII/NEO:6) repeatedly to select the 2 channel decoding mode.
The selected mode appears in the display. The sound field automatically switches to “NORMAL SURROUND” (page 37).
