select DIRECT STEREO.
• To avoid unexpected noise, do not play DTS-encoded CDs in
this mode.
• When multi-channel signals (Dolby Digital and DTS) are input,
this unit automatically selects an analog signal input. (When
DTS is selected as an input mode, no sound will be heard.)
• No sound will be output from the subwoofer.
• TONE CONTROL (page 31) and SET MENU (page 47)
settings are not effective.

This mode reproduces dialogue clearly while reducing the
volume of loud sound effects for easier listening at low
volumes or at night.
Press NIGHT on the remote control.
The NIGHT indicator in the front panel
display lights up.
Press NIGHT again to cancel. The
NIGHT indicator goes off.
y
