Late Night
■ Late Night

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.
` Off
` On
Turn this setting on to 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.
Note
• 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 can be used only when the input source
is Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby TrueHD.
• 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”.

Tip
• (North American and Taiwanese models) Alternatively, you
can use the AV receiver’s MUSIC OPTIMIZER.
Note
• The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital
audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48 kHz and analog
