- Page 16 BDT6000R (REV5).ƒ 11/22/99 5:45 PM LED Display Panel On Center Channel Unit (cont.) n i g h t When listening at low volumes, (late at night, for example), the quietest passages can be difficult to hear and the loud passages are often too loud. The n i g h t mode reduces the system’s dynamic range (the diff e rence between loudest and softest sounds) so the quiet parts of the program are clearly audible even at low volume, while attenuating the loudest passages so others are n ’t disturbed.
