What is ‘Midnight’?
The Midnight setting is a Dynamic Range compression process provided by Dolby and DTS to highlight certain frequencies and/or signals while keeping the
effective volume low. This would be for late night listening or other times when it is important to minimize the disturbance of others within hearing range of the
system.
What is the Slope adjustment for (as in '12dB'?) It appears this can be set for the front L/R and centre speaker.
The slope adjustment determines the rate at which the frequency response is attenuated above or below the crossover point. It can be set per pair of
speakers, but not each individually. For example: the front speakers, the centre speaker and/or the rear speakers.
** Please note that this adjustment only applies to the 'so called' crossover point between the main L/C/R/Rear and the Subwoofer/LFE channels, and that
there is no actual external crossover capability 'per se,' as is commonly encountered with true bi-amping or tri-amping, etc.
Why is the AVP-18 unable to receive HDMI 192kHz? It keeps forcing HDMI to 48kHz.
The HDMI Audio Output has been re-directed to the TV instead of the Amplifier. Follow the following process to correct:

Change HDMI Audio Out to "Amplifier" (Default is TV)
