Midnight Movie mode
Midnight Movie mode functions in the same way as the Dynamic option in the setup
menus; it allows you to add compression to the audio signal in order to dampen sudden
increases in volume.
To toggle between Midnight Movie mode on or off:
● Press then hold SURROUND on the front panel or SURR on the handset.
MIDNIGHT MOVIE: ON
or
MIDNIGHT MOVIE: OFF.
is displayed on the front panel.
NOTE:
Midnight Movie mode overrides the Dynamic setting in the setup menus. If the Dynamic
option is set to 4/8, switching Midnight Movie mode ON adds full compression to the
audio signal. If you then switch Midnight Movie mode OFF, the Dynamic setting also falls
to OFF.
Surround sound audio modes
Most DVDs have a number of surround sound formats contained on the disc. The most
common formats are DTS (Digital Theatre Systems), Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital
Stereo.
Once you have selected a surround sound format via the DVD’s menu, (see Using DVD
menus, this chapter) the Classik Movie System allows you to further amend the audio
mode in order to restrict the number of speakers used, if desired.
The options available are:
Audio mode Speakers used
DTS Full* Requires 5.1 channels (five full-range speakers plus subwoofer)
As Mix As many speakers as are available (up to 6)
3 Stereo Fronts and centre (plus subwoofer if available)
Phantom Fronts and rears (plus subwoofer if available)
Stereo Fronts only (default for audio CD’s)
Stereo + Sub Fronts plus subwoofer
*Available only for discs featuring DTS format.
To cycle through the available audio modes:
● Repeatedly press the SURROUND key on the front panel or SURR on the handset.
The audio modes are shown on the front panel display.
NOTES:
All above audio modes, bar DTS Full, are available when listening to a CD.
Audio modes are not available for auxiliary sources.
For Dolby Digital Stereo discs you must set the Pro Logic option in the setup menus to
ON (see Setup Menus chapter).
