Using Midnight and Loudness
The Midnight listening feature allows you to
hear effective surround sound of movies at low
volume levels. The effect automatically adjusts
according to the volume at which you’re
listening. The Loudness listening feature can
be used to get good bass and treble from
music sources at low volume levels.

Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the
compression process, sound quality often
suffers from an uneven sound image. The
Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP
technology that helps bring CD quality sound
back to compressed 2-channel audio by
restoring sound pressure and smoothing
jagged artifacts left over after compression.
