Using the Sound Effect

Reinforcing bass frequencies

You can reinforce bass frequencies.

Press DYNAMIC BASS.

“D. BASS ON” appears in the front panel display and bass frequencies are effectively reinforced.

To turn off the sound effect

Press DYNAMIC BASS again.

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.

To turn off the sound effect

Press NIGHT again.

Enhancing compressed sound

You can enhance compressed sound such as an MP3 audio file.

This effect is activated automatically when all the following conditions are satisfied:

–The function is set to “DMPORT,” “AUDIO,” or “USB”.

–“DEC. MODE” is set to “A.F.D. STD” or “A.F.D. MULTI.”

–Headphones are not connected.

To turn off the sound effect

Select other than “A.F.D. STD” or “A.F.D. MULTI” for “DEC. MODE” (page 25).
