Using Midnight and Loudness
The Midnight listening feature allows you to hear
effective surround sound of movies at low volume levels.
The effect automatically adjusts according to the volume
at which you’re listening. The Loudness listening feature
can be used to get good bass and treble from music
sources at low volume levels.

Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the WMA/MP3/
MPEG-4 AAC compression process, sound quality often

Retriever feature employs new DSP technology that
helps bring CD quality sound back to compressed 2-
channel audio by restoring sound pressure and
smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.
