Basic Playback Listening in Midnight 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 plays 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 D-Range Control (only for Dolby Digital sources) on page 38. 1 1 ENTER TUNE GUIDE D.ACCESS & BAND ‹ MENU CLASS * MPX DTV ON / OFF DTV MENU ¶ !⁄ RETURN S.MODE CLEAR DTV INFO RDM RECEIVER DIRECT CONTROL MIDNIGHT DSP STEREO FUNCTION ADVANCED STANDARD MUTE 2 / DTS Î AV PRE-PROGRAMMED AND LEARNING REMOTE CONTROL UNIT 1 Press the MIDNIGHT button.
