Late Night Function
■
Late Night
With the Late Night function, you can reduce the
dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can
still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume
levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you
don’t want to disturb anyone.
For
Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus
sources, the
options are:
Off:
Late Night function off (default).
Low:
Small reduction in dynamic range.
High:
Large reduction in dynamic range.
For
Dolby TrueHD
sources, the options are:
Auto:
The Late Night function is set to On or Off
automatically (default).
Off:
Late Night function off.
On:
Late Night function on.
Notes:
• The Late Night function can be used only when the
input source is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or
Dolby TrueHD.
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the
material that you are playing and the intention of the
original sound designer, and with some material there
will be little or no effect when you select the different
options.
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV
receiver is set to Standby. For Dolby TrueHD sources,
it will be set to Auto.
