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.

Press MIDNIGHT/LOUDNESS to switch

between MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, and OFF.

Enhancing dialog

The Dialog Enhancement feature localizes
dialog in the center channel to make it stand
out from other background sounds in a TV or
movie soundtrack.

Using the tone controls

Depending on what you are listening to, you
may want to adjust the bass or treble using the
front panel tone control.

Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the
compression process, sound quality often
suffers from an uneven sound image. The
Sound 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.
