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 parts of the Dolby Digital sound track (like scenes with
sudden increases in volume) to minimize the difference in volume between
the specified and non-specified parts. This makes it easy to hear all of the
sound track, even when listening at low volumes.
• The adjustment item is displayed for approximately 8 seconds.
• Some Dolby Digital software may not be compatible with the Mid-
night mode.
Circle surround mode
When you enjoy multi sound from the stereo source (Circle Surround), you
can select the circle surround mode.
1 Press the LISTEN MODE (LISTEN M.) key so that “CIRCLE
SURROUND” is displayed.
2 Press the SOUND key so that “CINEMA” or “MUSIC” is displayed.
3 Use the MULTI CONTROL knob or keys to select “CINEMA” (for
movies) or “MUSIC” (for music).
