Midnight mode (Dolby Digital 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 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.

• This can be selected only if DVD/CD, VIDEO 2 or FRONT AUX is
