Midnight Mode; Panorama Mode; Dimension Mode; Center Width Mode - Kenwood VRS-5100 Instruction Manual

Convenient functions
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
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.
