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.
