Midnight mode (Dolby Digital and DTS mode only)
When watching movies at night , you might not be able to raise the volume as
loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic range of previously
specified heavy sound passage of the Dolby Digital and DTS sound track (like
scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume
between the scenes with heavy sound passage and scenes with normal sound
passage. This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening
at low volumes.
1 Press the SOUND key, then press the 5/∞ keys or MULTI @/#
keys until "MIDNIGHT" appears on the display.
• This can be selected only if CD/DVD, DVD/6CH, VIDEO 2 or VIDEO 3
is selected as the source and the input signal is set to "Dolby Digital"
or "DTS".
2 Use the MULTI CONTROL knob or MULTI %/fi keys to select the
ON or OFF setting.
