Midnight mode.

changes among the three available settings. Select the bright-
ness level you find most pleasing.
When you operate on the remote control unit, press the F.SHIFT
key before pressing the DIMMER key.

or off setting.

SUBWOOFER adjustment
It is easy to adjust the volume of the subwoofer using the remote control.

Ambience effects
Midnight mode (Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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 (AC-3) 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.
1 Press the SOUND key several times until "NIGHT" is displayed.
•This can be selected only if CD/DVD, VIDEO2, or VIDEO3 is
selected as the source and the input mode is set to set to "DOLBY
DIGITAL."
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/MUSIC" is displayed.
3 Use the MULTI CONTROL knob or the 5/ keys to select
"CINEMA" (for movies) or "MUSIC" (for music).
