Using Midnight and Loudness

The Midnight listening feature allows you to hear effec-
tive surround sound of movies at low volume levels. The
effect automatically adjusts according to the volume at
which you're listening. The Loudness listening feature
can be used to get good bass and treble from music
sources at low volume levels.
• Press RECEIVER then press MIDNIGHT/LOUDNESS
to switch between MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, and OFF.

Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the WMA/MP3/
MPEG-4 AAC compression process, sound quality often
suffers from an uneven sound image. The Sound
Retriever feature employs new DSP technology that
helps bring CD quality sound back to compressed 2-
channel audio by restoring sound pressure and
smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.
• Press RECEIVER then press S. RETRIEVER (SOUND
RETRIEVER) to switch the sound retriever on or off.
Note
1 The tone controls are only available when STEREO is selected (except when STEREO is selected using AUTO SURROUND).
