Midnight mode
(DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS mode only)
When watching movies at night , you might not be able to raise the
volume as loud as normal. Midnight mode compresses the dynamic
range of previously specified parts of the DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS sound
track (like scenes with sudden increases in volume) to minimize the
difference in volume between the specified and non-specified parts. This
makes it easy to hear all of the sound track, even when listening at low
volumes.
