Listening in MIDNIGHT LISTENING Mode
This feature makes it possible to get excellent surround sound effects even when listening at low volumes. It can be
used with a variety of surround sound sources and plays soundtracks so that the quieter sounds are audible while the
noisier sounds don’t become overly loud or distorted. It does this by bringing all the sounds in a given soundtrack
closer together in volume. Compare this feature with the D-Range Control (only for Dolby Digital sources) on p. 33.
Press MIDNIGHT.
Each press switches MIDNIGHT LISTENING mode on or off.
memo • The effect adjusts itself automatically in accordance with
the volume level.
• You can’t use the MIDNIGHT LISTENING mode with the
THX, DIRECT or EXTERNAL DECODER modes.
