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 play 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 DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL (only for Dolby Digital sources) on p. 31.
Press MIDNIGHT on the remote control’s Receiver
MAIN screen or on the front panel.
Each press switches MIDNIGHT LISTENING mode on or off.
