at night.
• Depending on the disc or source, when you select
"AUTO," the beginning of the sound may be cut off
as the system selects the optimum mode
automatically. To avoid cutting the sound, select
other than "AUTO."
• Depending on the input stream, the sound mode may
not be effective.
• When you play a Super Audio CD, this function does
not work.
• When "NIGHT" is selected and 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, the
system optimally adjusts the volume.

selected channel through both the right and left
speakers.
