M idnight mode (Dolby Digital mode only)
When w atching movies at night, you might not be able to raise the
volume as loud as normal. M idnight mode compresses the dynamic
range of previously specified heavy sound passage of the Dolby Digital
sound track (like scenes w ith sudden increases in volume) to minimize
the difference in volume betw een the scenes w ith heavy sound passage
and scenes w ith normal sound passage. This makes it easy to hear all of
the sound track, even w hen listening at low volumes.
1 Press the SOUND key repeatedly until "NIGHT" appears on the
display.
• This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD/6CH or VIDEO 2 is
selected as the source and the listen mode is set to " DOLBY
DIGITAL."
